Ephesians 2

1 [Unto] you also—being dead by your offences and sins,

And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

Wherein in time past all of you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (pneuma) that now works in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest, —

Among whom also we all had our conversation 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, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love (agape) wherewith he loved us,

5 Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, —by favour, ye have been saved, —

Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace all of you are saved; )

6 And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:

And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon 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 his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!

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

9 Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 His, in fact we are—his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.

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

11 Wherefore, keep in remembrance—that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,

Wherefore remember, that all of you 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, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

That at that time all of you 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, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

But now in Christ Jesus all of you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 He, in fact, is our peace—who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,

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

15 The enmity, in his flesh—the law of commandments in decrees—bringing to nought, —that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.

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

16 And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, —slaying the enmity thereby; —

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

17 And, coming, he announced the glad-message—of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;

And came and preached peace to you which were far off, and to them that were nigh.

18 Because, through him, we have our introduction—we both—in one Spirit, unto the Father.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit (pneuma) unto the Father.

19 Hence, then—no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, —

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

20 Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, —

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

21 In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord;

In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.

In whom all of you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (pneuma)
