Ephesians 2
1 Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
I was ożywił, którzyście byli umarli w upadkach i w grzechach.
2 You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
W którycheście niekiedy chodzili według zwyczaju świata tego i według książęcia, który ma władzę na powietrzu, ducha tego, który teraz jest skuteczny w synach niedowiarstwa. (aiōn g165)
3 Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those [evil] deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that [God] would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other [evil people].
Między którymi i my wszyscy obcowaliśmy niekiedy w pożądliwościach ciała naszego, czyniąc to, co się podobało ciału i myślom, i byliśmy z przyrodzenia dziećmi gniewu, jako i drudzy.
4 But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
Lecz Bóg, który jest bogaty w miłosierdziu, dla wielkiej miłości swojej, którą nas umiłował.
5 As a result, even when we were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is) because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
I gdyśmy byli umarłymi w grzechach, ożywił nas pospołu z Chrystusem, (gdyż łaską zbawieni jesteście)
6 And [it is as though] God gave us spiritual life when he caused Christ Jesus to be alive again after he died [MET]. And [it is as though] God caused us to sit [and rule] [MTY] with him in heaven,
I pospołu z nim wzbudził, i pospołu z nim posadził na niebiesiech w Chrystusie Jezusie,
7 in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
Aby okazał w przyszłych wiekach ono nader obfite bogactwo łaski swojej, z dobrotliwości swojej przeciwko nam w Chrystusie Jezusie. (aiōn g165)
8 It is [only] by [God] acting [PRS] [toward you] in a way that you did not deserve that you have been saved {that he has saved you} as a result of your trusting [in Christ]. You did not save yourselves. His saving you was his gift to you.
Albowiem łaską jesteście zbawieni przez wiarę, i to nie jest z was, dar to Boży jest;
9 He did not save any of you because of anything you yourselves did. Because you have done nothing [to save yourselves], you cannot be proud of your efforts to save yourselves.
Nie z uczynków, aby się kto nie chlubił.
10 It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive [spiritual/eternal] life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
Albowiem czynem jego jesteśmy stworzeni w Chrystusie Jezusie ku uczynkom dobrym, które przedtem Bóg zgotował, abyśmy w nich chodzili.
11 You [Ephesians] have been non-Jews from the time that you were born. The Jews ([insult you/say that you are not God’s people]) [by] calling you ‘those who are not circumcised’. They [proudly] call themselves ‘we [(exc)] who are circumcised’. [They have allowed people to] circumcise [them to indicate that they are God’s people, but] that has [only] changed their bodies, [not their] ([inner beings/hearts]).
Przetoż pamiętajcie, że wy niekiedy będąc poganami w ciele, którzyście byli zwani nieobrzezką od onych, których zwano obrzezką w ciele, która się ręką dzieje;
12 You should constantly remember these things: Formerly you did not have any relationship with Christ. You did not belong to the people of Israel, [the people whom God chose]. You did not know about the things God promised in his agreements [with his people]. You did not confidently expect to go to heaven after you die (OR, [that God would save you]). You [lived] in this world without knowing God.
Iżeście byli naonczas bez Chrystusa, oddaleni od społeczności Izraelskiej i obcymi od umów obietnicy, nadziei nie mający i bez Boga na świecie.
13 But now, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, God has brought you, who had no relationship with him [MET], into his family [MET]. He did that because [you trusted in what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed from his body when he died on the cross].
Ale teraz w Chrystusie Jezusie wy, którzyście niekiedy byli dalekimi, staliście się bliskimi przez krew Chrystusową,
14 Christ himself [has caused us Jewish and non-Jewish believers] to have peace [with each other]. He has made both [of our groups] to become one [group]. [Just like people] (tear down/demolish) a wall that separates [groups of people] [MET], he has destroyed the hatred [between Jews and non-Jews].
Albowiem on jest pokojem naszym, który oboje jednem uczynił i średnią ścianę, która była przegrodą, rozwalił;
15 By dying [MTY] [for us on the cross] he made it no longer [necessary for us to obey] all the [Jewish] laws and rituals [in order to be saved]. He did that in order to enable the two [groups] to become one new group because of our relationship with him. The result was that he has caused us to have peace [with each other].
Nieprzyjaźń, to jest zakon przykazań, który zależał w ustawach, skaziwszy przez ciało swoje, aby dwóch stworzył w samym sobie w jednego nowego człowieka, czyniąc pokój;
16 By [dying on] the cross [MTY] he caused both Jews and non-Jews to have a peaceful relationship with God. That is how he caused us to no longer be [MET] enemies [with God] (OR, [with each other]).
I pojednał obydwóch w jednem ciele z Bogiem przez krzyż, zgładziwszy nieprzyjaźń przezeń.
17 He came [to earth] and proclaimed that you [non-Jews], who did not have a relationship with [MET] [God], and [us(exc) Jews], who [considered that we(exc) belonged to] [MET] God’s [family], can [all] now have peace [with God].
I przyszedłszy opowiedział pokój wam, którzyście dalekimi i którzyście bliskimi.
18 [We know that he has done that] because we both, [Jews and non-Jews], are [now] able to approach God the Father in prayer by the help of his Spirit, because of what Christ [has done].
Albowiem przezeń mamy przystęp obie strony w jednym Duchu do Ojca.
19 So [God no longer treats] you [non-Jews] as [people treat] [MET] foreigners and strangers [who live among them] [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, [it is as though] you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and [as though you have become] members of the family [of which he is the father] [MET].
A przetoż już więcej nie jesteście gośćmi i przychodniami, ale spółmieszczaninami świętych i domownikami Bożymi.
20 [Just like] a building is built {[as someone] builds a building} on a foundation, [God has joined you into one group that originated/began] from what the apostles and prophets [taught]. Christ Jesus is the [most important one in that group, just like a] cornerstone [is the most important part of a building]. And
Zbudowani na fundamencie Apostołów i proroków, którego jest gruntownym węgielnym kamieniem sam Jezus Chrystus,
21 just like [a builder might] join together all the parts of a building to make it a temple that [people will] dedicate to the Lord [MET], [Christ is continually causing all of] you who have a relationship with [him to be united, in order that you will become one holy group].
Na którym wszystko budowanie wespół spojone rośnie w kościół święty w Panu;
22 And because of your relationship with Christ, [God] is joining you [non-Jews] together with [Jewish believers] to be [like] one building [MET] in which his Spirit lives.
Na którym też i wy się wespół budujecie, abyście byli mieszkaniem Bożem w Duchu Świętym.
