Ephesians 2

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

And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins (of you, *no)

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)

in which once you walked according to the age world of this, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons 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 ourselves all lived once in the desires of the flesh of us doing the things willed of the flesh and of [its] thoughts and (we were *N+kO) children by nature of wrath as even the rest.

4 But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,

But God rich being in mercy because of the great love of Him with which 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 being we dead in trespasses made [us] alive with Christ — by grace you are saved.

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

and He raised [us] up together and He seated [us] together in the heavenly realms 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)

in order that He may show in the ages that [are] coming (the surpassing riches *N+kO) of the grace of Him in kindness toward us in 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 you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, [it is] of God the gift,

9 Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

not as a result of works, so that not anyone may 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.

Of Him for we are workmanship having been created in Christ Jesus for works good which prepared beforehand God, that in them we may walk.

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,

Therefore do remember that formerly you yourselves the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the ones being named [the] uncircumcision by which is being named [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;

for you were (in *k) time that [very] separate from Christ alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, hope not having 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;

Now however in Christ Jesus you yourselves the [ones] once being far off have become near by the blood of Christ.

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

he himself for is the peace of us, which having made both one and the barrier of the fence having broken down,

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.

the hostility in the flesh of Him, the law of commandments in ordinances having annulled, so that the two He may create in (Him *N+kO) into one new man making peace,

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

and He may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross having slain the hostility by it;

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

And having come He evangelised peace to you the [ones] far off and (peace *no) to those [who are] near,

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

For through Him we have the access both by one Spirit to 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, —

So then no longer no longer are you strangers and aliens, but (are *no) fellow citizens of 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, —

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, being [the] cornerstone Himself Christ Jesus

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

in whom [the] whole building being fitted together is increasing into a temple holy in [the] Lord,

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

in whom also you yourselves are being built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
