Ephesians 2

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

Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

2 Wherein in time past all of you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (pneuma) that now works 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 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.

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, who is rich in mercy, for his great love (agape) wherewith he loved us,

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

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

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

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

and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in 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 that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn g165)

8 For by grace are all of you saved through faith; and that 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 of 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, which God has before ordained that we should walk 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 all of 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;

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 at that time all of 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:

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 all of you who sometimes were far off are made 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 has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

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

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; in order to make in himself of two one new man, 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 unto God in one body 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 came and preached peace to you which were far off, and to them that 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 (pneuma) unto the Father.

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

19 Now therefore all of you 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 And are built upon the foundation of the 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 all the building fitly framed together grows unto 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 all of you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (pneuma)

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