< Ephesians 2 >

1 And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins (of you, *no*)
Καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν,
2 in which once you walked according to the age world of this, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
ἐν αἷς ποτε περιεπατήσατε, κατὰ τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, κατὰ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος, τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀπειθείας· (aiōn g165)
3 among whom also we ourselves all lived once in the desires of the flesh of us doing the things willed of the flesh and of [its] thoughts and (we were *N(k)O*) children by nature of wrath as even the rest.
ἐν οἷς καὶ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἀνεστράφημέν ποτε ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ θελήματα τῆς σαρκὸς καὶ τῶν διανοιῶν, καὶ ἤμεθα τέκνα φύσει ὀργῆς, ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί.
4 But God rich being in mercy because of the great love of Him with which He loved us,
Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει, διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς,
5 even being we dead in trespasses made [us] alive with Christ — by grace you are saved.
καὶ ὄντας ἡμᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασιν, συνεζωοποίησεν τῷ ˚Χριστῷ (χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι),
6 and He raised [us] up together and He seated [us] together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
καὶ συνήγειρεν καὶ συνεκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ,
7 in order that He may show in the ages that [are] coming (the surpassing riches *N(k)O*) of the grace of Him in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
ἵνα ἐνδείξηται ἐν τοῖς αἰῶσιν, τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις τὸ ὑπερβάλλον πλοῦτος τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ, ἐν χρηστότητι ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace you are saved through (*k*) faith, and this not of yourselves, [it is] of God the gift,
Τῇ γὰρ χάριτί ἐστε σεσῳσμένοι διὰ πίστεως, καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐξ ὑμῶν, ˚Θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον·
9 not as a result of works, so that not anyone may boast.
οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα μή τις καυχήσηται.
10 Of Him for we are workmanship having been created in Christ Jesus for works good which prepared beforehand God, that in them we may walk.
Αὐτοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν ποίημα, κτισθέντες ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς προητοίμασεν ὁ ˚Θεὸς, ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν.
11 Therefore do remember that formerly you yourselves the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the ones being named [the] uncircumcision by which is being named [the] circumcision in [the] flesh made by hands —
Διὸ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ποτὲ ὑμεῖς τὰ ἔθνη ἐν σαρκί, οἱ λεγόμενοι ἀκροβυστία ὑπὸ τῆς λεγομένης περιτομῆς ἐν σαρκὶ χειροποιήτου,
12 for you were (in *k*) time that [very] separate from Christ alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, hope not having and without God in the world;
ὅτι ἦτε τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ χωρὶς ˚Χριστοῦ, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς πολιτείας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ξένοι τῶν διαθηκῶν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ἐλπίδα μὴ ἔχοντες, καὶ ἄθεοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ.
13 Now however in Christ Jesus you yourselves the [ones] once being far off have become near by the blood of Christ.
Νυνὶ δὲ ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ὑμεῖς οἵ ποτε ὄντες μακρὰν, ἐγενήθητε ἐγγὺς ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
14 he himself for is the peace of us, which having made both one and the barrier of the fence having broken down,
Αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἓν, καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας, τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ,
15 the hostility in the flesh of Him, the law of commandments in ordinances having annulled, so that the two He may create in (Him *N(k)O*) into one new man making peace,
τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν καταργήσας, ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν αὑτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, ποιῶν εἰρήνην,
16 and He may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross having slain the hostility by it;
καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ ˚Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ·
17 And having come He evangelised peace to you the [ones] far off and (peace *no*) to those [who are] near,
καὶ ἐλθὼν, εὐηγγελίσατο, “εἰρήνην ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν, καὶ εἰρήνην τοῖς ἐγγύς”·
18 For through Him we have the access both by one Spirit to the Father.
ὅτι διʼ αὐτοῦ ἔχομεν τὴν προσαγωγὴν, οἱ ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἑνὶ ˚Πνεύματι πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα.
19 So then no longer no longer are you strangers and aliens, but (are *no*) fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God
Ἄρα οὖν οὐκέτι ἐστὲ ξένοι καὶ πάροικοι, ἀλλὰ ἐστὲ συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων καὶ οἰκεῖοι τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ,
20 having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, being [the] cornerstone Himself Christ Jesus
ἐποικοδομηθέντες ἐπὶ τῷ θεμελίῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ προφητῶν, ὄντος ἀκρογωνιαίου αὐτοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ,
21 in whom [the] whole (*k*) building being fitted together is increasing into a temple holy in [the] Lord,
ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα ἡ οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη, αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν ˚Κυρίῳ,
22 in whom also you yourselves are being built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς συνοικοδομεῖσθε, εἰς κατοικητήριον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐν ˚Πνεύματι.
