Ephesians 2

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

Also you — being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

2 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)

in which once ye did walk 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 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, —

among whom also we all did walk 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, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,

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

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

even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved, )

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

and did raise [us] up together, and did seat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

7 That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in 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 his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you — of God the gift,

9 Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 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.

for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

11 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,

Wherefore, remember, that ye [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

12 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;

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

and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,

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

for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

15 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.

the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,

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

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

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

and having come, he did proclaim good news — peace to you — the far-off and the nigh,

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

because through him we have the access — we both — in one Spirit unto the Father.

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

Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

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

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

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

in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

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

in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
