Ephesians 2

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

And you hath he made alive who were dead in 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 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 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 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, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,

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

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

and made us sit together in heavenly places 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 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 saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [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 works, lest any man should boast.

for we are his workmanship,

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk 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, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by 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 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:

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 now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh 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, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us;

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 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 unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity 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 afar off, and to them that were nigh.

and He came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

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

For through Him we both have access by 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;

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 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 the chief corner-stone:

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto 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 builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.
