Ephesians 2

1 And whanne ye weren deed in youre giltis and synnes,

And you [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

2 in which ye wandriden sum tyme aftir the cours of this world, aftir the prince of the power of this eir, of the spirit that worchith now in to the sones of vnbileue; (aiōn g165)

wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165)

3 in which also we `alle lyueden sum tyme in the desiris of oure fleisch, doynge the willis of the fleisch and of thouytis, and we weren bi kynde the sones of wraththe, as othere men;

among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: —

4 but God, that is riche in merci, for his ful myche charite in which he louyde vs,

but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 yhe, whanne we weren deed in synnes, quikenede vs togidere in Crist, bi whos grace ye ben sauyd, and ayen reiside togidere,

even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

6 and made togidere to sitte in heuenli thingis in Crist Jhesu;

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:

7 that he schulde schewe in the worldis aboue comynge the plenteuouse ritchessis of his grace in goodnesse on vs in Crist Jhesu. (aiōn g165)

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

8 For bi grace ye ben sauyd bi feith, and this not of you; for it is the yifte of God,

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

9 not of werkis, that no man haue glorie.

not of works, that no man should glory.

10 For we ben the makyng of hym, maad of nouyt in Crist Jhesu, in good werkis, whiche God hath ordeyned, that we go in tho werkis.

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

11 For which thing be ye myndeful, that sumtyme ye weren hethene in fleisch, which weren seid prepucie, fro that that is seid circumcisioun maad bi hond in fleisch;

Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

12 and ye weren in that time with out Crist, alienyd fro the lyuyng of Israel, and gestis of testamentis, not hauynge hope of biheest, and with outen God in this world.

that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Crist Jhesu ye that weren sum tyme fer, ben maad nyy in the blood of Crist.

But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

14 For he is oure pees, that made bothe oon, and vnbyndynge the myddil wal of a wal with out morter, enmytees in his fleisch;

For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

15 and auoidide the lawe of maundementis bi domes, that he make twei in hym silf in to a newe man,

having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] making peace;

16 makynge pees, to recounsele bothe in o bodi to God bi the cros, sleynge the enemytees in hym silf.

and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And he comynge prechide pees to you that weren fer, and pees to hem that weren niy;

and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

18 for bi hym we bothe han niy comyng in o spirit to the fadir.

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

19 Therfor now ye ben not gestis and straungeris, but ye ben citeseyns of seyntis, and houshold meine of God;

So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

20 aboue bildid on the foundement of apostlis and of profetis, vpon that hiyeste corner stoon, Crist Jhesu;

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

21 in whom ech bildyng maad waxith in to an hooli temple in the Lord.

in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 In whom also `be ye bildid togidere in to the habitacle of God, in the Hooli Goost.

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