Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 We also all once lived among them 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.

among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

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

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

5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved, )

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

and hath raised us up together with him, and made us sit down together in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus.

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

That he might shew forth in the ages to come the transcendent riches of his grace, in the kindness shewed to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

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

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

not by works, lest any man should boast;

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

for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

12 that you 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.

that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace,

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

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

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

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

19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

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

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

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

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord:

22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
