Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

even you who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who 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 we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

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, being 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 through our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah (by grace you have been saved),

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

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua,

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 kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua; (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 you have been 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, that no one would boast.

not by works, that no one may boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared before that we would 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 Therefore remember that once you, the non-Jews in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "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 you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the 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 Messiah Yeshua you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Messiah.

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 made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

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

15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, 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 might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which he put to death their enmity.

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

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who 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 our access in one Ruach to the Father.

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

19 So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the kadoshim, 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 being built on the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief cornerstone;

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

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a 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 a habitation of God in the Ruach.

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