Ephesians 2

1 And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins,

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

2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: (aiōn g165)

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)

3 In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:

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: —

4 But God, (who is rich in mercy, ) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,

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

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved, )

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

6 And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.

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

7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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

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

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

9 Not of works, that no man may glory.

not of works, that no man should glory.

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

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

11 For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands;

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;

12 That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.

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.

13 But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

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

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:

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

15 Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

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;

16 And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.

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

17 And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.

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

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

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

19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,

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

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

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

21 In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

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

22 In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

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