Προς Εφεσιους 2

1 και υμας οντας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν και ταις αμαρτιαις

even you who were dead in 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)

in which you formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air--of the spirit which now effectually works in the children 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

amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

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

But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us,

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

even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved; )

6 και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω ιησου

and has raised us up together, and has set us down together in heavenly places with 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 show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God--

9 ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τις καυχησηται

not by works, that no one may 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, created in Christ Jesus to good works, for which God before prepared us, 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 you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the 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

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

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

but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by 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 has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation;

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, by his flesh, the enmity, (the law of the commandments concerning ordinances, ) that he might make the two into one new man, under himself, making peace:

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

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

17 και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοις μακραν και τοις εγγυς

And, having come, he brought good news of peace to you, the far off--to us, the nigh:

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

that, through him, we both have introduction to the Father, by one Spirit.

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

Now, then, you are no longer strangers and sojourners; but 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

having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone;

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

by which the whole building, being fitly compacted together, rises into a holy temple of the Lord;

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

in which you, also, are builded together, for a habitation of God by the Spirit.
