Ephesians 2

1 And you [did he make alive], when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

And you hath he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165)

In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 among whom we also all once lived 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 had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

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

Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive 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, and made us sit together in heavenly places 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 in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

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

9 not of works, that no man should glory.

Not by works, lest any man should boast.

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

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

Therefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

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

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

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

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

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace;

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

16 and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by himself slain the enmity:

17 and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were near.

18 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

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

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

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and aliens, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

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

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth to an holy temple in the Lord:

22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
