Ephesians 2

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

You also who were dead in your sins and in your transgressions,

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

in which from the first you walked according to the worldliness of this age, and according to the will of the prince of the power of the air, of that Spirit who urgeth in the sons 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.

in those works in which we also walked from the first in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and were the sons of wrath fully as the rest.

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

BUT Aloha, who is rich in his mercies, for his great love wherewith he loved us

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

while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,

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

and raised us with him, and made us to sit with him in heaven in Jeshu the Meshiha,

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

that he might show to the ages to come the greatness of the riches of his grace and his goodness, which hath been upon us in Jeshu the Meshiha. (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 his grace are we saved through faith, and this was not of you, but is the gift of Aloha,

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

not of works, that no man should glory.

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 creation, who are created in Jeshu Meshiha unto good works, which Aloha hath prepared before, that in them we should walk.

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 be mindful, that you Gentiles at first were carnal, and were called the Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision, and is the work of the 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.

and were at that time without the Meshiha, and were aliens from the polity of Israel, and strangers to the covenant of the promise, and, without hope, were without Aloha 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, by Jeshu the Meshiha, you who before were far off, are brought nigh by the blood of the Meshiha.

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

For he is our peace, he who hath made the two one, and hath destroyed the wall which stood in the midst,

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,

and the enmity, through his flesh; and the law of prescriptions, with its requirements, he hath abolished, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, and make peace;

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

and hath reconciled the two in one body with Aloha, and by his cross hath slain the enmity.

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

And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh; therefore,

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

through Him there hath been made for us both an 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,

THEREFORE are you no more strangers and sojourners but sons of the city of the saints, and sons of the house of Aloha;

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

and you are builded upon the foundation of the apostles and of the prophets, and Jeshu the Meshiha himself is the chief corner of the building;

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

and in him is the whole building increased and enlargeth into a holy temple in the Lord,

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

while you also in him are being builded the dwelling of Aloha by the Spirit.
