Προς Εφεσιους 2

1 και υμασ οντασ νεκρουσ τοισ παραπτωμασιν και ταισ αμαρτιαισ

and you, being dead in your offences 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)

in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works 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 had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, 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, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 και οντασ ημασ νεκρουσ τοισ παραπτωμασιν συνεζωοποιησεν τω χριστω χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι

(we too being dead in offences, ) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace, )

6 και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοισ επουρανιοισ εν χριστω ιησου

and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies 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 he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 τη γαρ χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι δια τησ πιστεωσ και τουτο ουκ εξ υμων θεου το δωρον

For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

9 ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τισ καυχησηται

not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

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, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before 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 ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

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 without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of 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 who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the 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 has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

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 annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

16 και αποκαταλλαξη τουσ αμφοτερουσ εν ενι σωματι τω θεω δια του σταυρου αποκτεινασ την εχθραν εν αυτω

and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;

17 και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοισ μακραν και τοισ εγγυσ

and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.

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

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

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

So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of 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, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

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

in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

22 εν ω και υμεισ συνοικοδομεισθε εισ κατοικητηριον του θεου εν πνευματι

in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
