Ephesians 2

1 AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

2 wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy 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 also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

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, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us,

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

5 though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved, )

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

6 and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus.

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

7 That he might shew forth in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace, in the kindness shewed to us in Christ Jesus. (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 ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; 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 by works, lest any man should boast;

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

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 in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

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 at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists 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 now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh 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, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

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

15 destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, 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 might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby;

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

17 and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

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

18 for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

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

19 So then ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household 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 built up on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

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

21 in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord:

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

22 by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

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