Ephesians 2

1 And you [hath he revived], who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Even you, being dead to offenses and sins,

2 In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh 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, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )

made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved, )

6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:

and raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus;

7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness towards us, through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

8 For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

9 Not by works, lest any man should boast.

not by works, lest any one should boast.

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

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

11 Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

For which reason, remember that you were formerly Gen tiles, by natural descent, and that you are called Uncircumcision by the Circumcision; so called, from a mark made in the flesh by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world:

13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

but now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were formerly far off, have become near, by the blood of the Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

For he is our peace, who has made both parties one, and broken down the partition wall that separated us,

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances: to make in himself of two one new man, [so] making peace;

having abolished, in his flesh, the cause of enmity, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might, by himself, form the two into one new man, thus making peace;

16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity:

and that he might reconcile both, in one body, to God, through the cross, having by it put to death the cause of enmity;

17 And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

and having come, he preached peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near:

18 For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.

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

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

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

having been builded upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord:

in whom the whole building, compactly fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

in whom you also are builded together, for a dwelling-place of God by his Spirit.
