Ephesians 2

1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,

Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

2 Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.

among whom we also all walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,

4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,

even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),

6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,

and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

7 That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn g165)

that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn g165)

8 For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,

for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,

9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.

for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,

For this reason, remember, that you [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

12 That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.

that you were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world;

13 But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,

14 For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,

for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,

15 In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,

the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,

16 And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,

and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,

17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.

and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,

18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.

because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.

19 Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,

20 And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],

21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.

in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,

22 In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.

in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
