Ephesians 2
1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,
And you hath he made alive who were 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 ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children 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 also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,
But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,
5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,
hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,
6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,
and made us sit together in 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 in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through 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 ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:
9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.
for we are his workmanship,
10 For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might 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,
Wherefore remember that ye were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;
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.
and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus,
13 But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.
ye, who were formerly afar off, are made nigh by the blood of 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 hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;
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,
having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might form the two into one new man, in Himself, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,
and that He might reconcile both in one body unto God, by the cross, having thereby slain the enmity:
17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.
and He came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.
For through Him we both have access by 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,
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the houshold 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 the chief corner-stone:
21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.
in whom the whole building fitly joined together increaseth to an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.
