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 ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that 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 behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the 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 that he loved us,

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

even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace),

6 και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω ιησου

and raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly things 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)

So that in the coming ages he might show the transcending wealth 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 ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you,

9 ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τις καυχησηται

not from works, so that not any man 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 for good works, which God preordained 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

Remember therefore that once ye, the Gentiles in flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision (in 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 independent of Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and alien of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and godless 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, being formerly far off, became near in 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 made both one, and broke down the dividing 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-the law of the commandments in ordinances-so that he might create in himself the two 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 them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it.

17 και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοις μακραν και τοις εγγυς

And after coming he preached good news, peace to you, to those far off and to those near,

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

because through him we both have the access in 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 more alien and foreign, but fellow citizens of the sanctified, and belonging to the household of God.

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

Which was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner,

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

in whom the whole building joined together grows into 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 in Spirit into a habitation of God.
