Προς Εφεσιους 2

1 και υμας οντας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν και ταις αμαρτιαις

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

2 εν αις ποτε περιεπατησατε κατα τον αιωνα του κοσμου τουτου κατα τον αρχοντα της εξουσιας του αερος του πνευματος του νυν ενεργουντος εν τοις υιοις της απειθειας (aiōn g165)

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

3 εν οις και ημεις παντες ανεστραφημεν ποτε εν ταις επιθυμιαις της σαρκος ημων ποιουντες τα θεληματα της σαρκος και των διανοιων και ημεν τεκνα φυσει οργης ως και οι λοιποι

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 ο δε θεος πλουσιος ων εν ελεει δια την πολλην αγαπην αυτου ην ηγαπησεν ημας

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

5 και οντας ημας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν συνεζωοποιησεν τω χριστω χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι

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

6 και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω ιησου

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

7 ινα ενδειξηται εν τοις αιωσιν τοις επερχομενοις τον υπερβαλλοντα πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου εν χρηστοτητι εφ ημας εν χριστω ιησου (aiōn g165)

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

8 τη γαρ χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι δια της πιστεως και τουτο ουκ εξ υμων θεου το δωρον

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

9 ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τις καυχησηται

not of works, that no man should glory.

10 αυτου γαρ εσμεν ποιημα κτισθεντες εν χριστω ιησου επι εργοις αγαθοις οις προητοιμασεν ο θεος ινα εν αυτοις περιπατησωμεν

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

11 διο μνημονευετε οτι υμεις ποτε τα εθνη εν σαρκι οι λεγομενοι ακροβυστια υπο της λεγομενης περιτομης εν σαρκι χειροποιητου

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

12 οτι ητε εν τω καιρω εκεινω χωρις χριστου απηλλοτριωμενοι της πολιτειας του ισραηλ και ξενοι των διαθηκων της επαγγελιας ελπιδα μη εχοντες και αθεοι εν τω κοσμω

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 νυνι δε εν χριστω ιησου υμεις οι ποτε οντες μακραν εγγυς εγενηθητε εν τω αιματι του χριστου

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

14 αυτος γαρ εστιν η ειρηνη ημων ο ποιησας τα αμφοτερα εν και το μεσοτοιχον του φραγμου λυσας

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

15 την εχθραν εν τη σαρκι αυτου τον νομον των εντολων εν δογμασιν καταργησας ινα τους δυο κτιση εν εαυτω εις ενα καινον ανθρωπον ποιων ειρηνην

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

16 και αποκαταλλαξη τους αμφοτερους εν ενι σωματι τω θεω δια του σταυρου αποκτεινας την εχθραν εν αυτω

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

17 και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοις μακραν και τοις εγγυς

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

18 οτι δι αυτου εχομεν την προσαγωγην οι αμφοτεροι εν ενι πνευματι προς τον πατερα

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

19 αρα ουν ουκετι εστε ξενοι και παροικοι αλλα συμπολιται των αγιων και οικειοι του θεου

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

20 εποικοδομηθεντες επι τω θεμελιω των αποστολων και προφητων οντος ακρογωνιαιου αυτου ιησου χριστου

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

21 εν ω πασα οικοδομη συναρμολογουμενη αυξει εις ναον αγιον εν κυριω

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

22 εν ω και υμεις συνοικοδομεισθε εις κατοικητηριον του θεου εν πνευματι

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