Ephesians 2

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

[Unto] you also—being dead by your offences and sins,

2 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)

In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 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;

Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest, —

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

But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,

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

Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, —by favour, ye have been saved, —

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

And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:

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

That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)

8 For by grace ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!

9 not of works, lest any one should boast.

Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

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

His, in fact we are—his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.

11 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, —

Wherefore, keep in remembrance—that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,

12 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;

That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

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

But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

14 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;

He, in fact, is our peace—who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,

15 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,

The enmity, in his flesh—the law of commandments in decrees—bringing to nought, —that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.

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

And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, —slaying the enmity thereby; —

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

And, coming, he announced the glad-message—of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;

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

Because, through him, we have our introduction—we both—in one Spirit, unto the Father.

19 So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow-citizens with the saints, and members of the household of God,

Hence, then—no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, —

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

Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, —

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

In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord;

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

In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.
