Ephesians 2

1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

even you who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

in which you formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air--of the spirit which now effectually works in the children of disobedience; (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace you are saved; )

even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved; )

6 And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

and has raised us up together, and has set us down together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus;

7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God--

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

not by works, that no one may boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, for which God before prepared us, that we should walk in them.

11 Why remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands, )

12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

were in the world at that time, without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the institutions of promise; having no hope, and without God:

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

having abolished, by his flesh, the enmity, (the law of the commandments concerning ordinances, ) that he might make the two into one new man, under himself, making peace:

16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

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

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were near.

And, having come, he brought good news of peace to you, the far off--to us, the nigh:

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

that, through him, we both have introduction to the Father, by one Spirit.

19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Now, then, you are no longer strangers and sojourners; but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God:

20 And are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows to an holy temple in the Lord:

by which the whole building, being fitly compacted together, rises into a holy temple of the Lord;

22 In whom you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

in which you, also, are builded together, for a habitation of God by the Spirit.
