Ephesians 2

1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

and you also [[he raised up]], who were dead through your trespasses and sins,

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

in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, 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 even we all had our way of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;

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

but God, who is rich in mercy, on account of his great love wherewith he loved us, gave to us,

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

even when dead through our trespasses, life with Christ, —by grace have ye been saved, —

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

and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus,

7 That in the ages to come he might shew 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 grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

For by grace ye have been 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, lest any one should boast.

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

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

11 Wherefore remember, that ye [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 in time past ye, the gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised, having the circumcision of the flesh, performed by hand, —

12 That at that time ye 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 ye were at that time without Christ, being aliens 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 sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

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

For it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity;

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

having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus 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 to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity.

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

And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near;

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

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow-citizens with the saints, and members 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];

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner-stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

in whom ye also are built together into a dwelling-place of God in the Spirit.
