Ephesians 2

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

And whanne ye weren deed in youre giltis and synnes,

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 ye wandriden sum tyme aftir the cours of this world, aftir the prince of the power of this eir, of the spirit that worchith now in to the sones of vnbileue; (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, —

in which also we `alle lyueden sum tyme in the desiris of oure fleisch, doynge the willis of the fleisch and of thouytis, and we weren bi kynde the sones of wraththe, as othere men;

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

but God, that is riche in merci, for his ful myche charite in which he louyde vs,

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

yhe, whanne we weren deed in synnes, quikenede vs togidere in Crist, bi whos grace ye ben sauyd, and ayen reiside togidere,

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

and made togidere to sitte in heuenli thingis in Crist Jhesu;

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 he schulde schewe in the worldis aboue comynge the plenteuouse ritchessis of his grace in goodnesse on vs in Crist Jhesu. (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 bi grace ye ben sauyd bi feith, and this not of you; for it is the yifte of God,

9 Not from works, lest anyone should boast.

not of werkis, that no man haue glorie.

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 ben the makyng of hym, maad of nouyt in Crist Jhesu, in good werkis, whiche God hath ordeyned, that we go in tho werkis.

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,

For which thing be ye myndeful, that sumtyme ye weren hethene in fleisch, which weren seid prepucie, fro that that is seid circumcisioun maad bi hond in fleisch;

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;

and ye weren in that time with out Crist, alienyd fro the lyuyng of Israel, and gestis of testamentis, not hauynge hope of biheest, and with outen God in this 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 Crist Jhesu ye that weren sum tyme fer, ben maad nyy in the blood of Crist.

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

For he is oure pees, that made bothe oon, and vnbyndynge the myddil wal of a wal with out morter, enmytees in his fleisch;

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.

and auoidide the lawe of maundementis bi domes, that he make twei in hym silf in to a newe man,

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

makynge pees, to recounsele bothe in o bodi to God bi the cros, sleynge the enemytees in hym silf.

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

And he comynge prechide pees to you that weren fer, and pees to hem that weren niy;

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

for bi hym we bothe han niy comyng in o spirit to the fadir.

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, —

Therfor now ye ben not gestis and straungeris, but ye ben citeseyns of seyntis, and houshold meine of God;

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

aboue bildid on the foundement of apostlis and of profetis, vpon that hiyeste corner stoon, Crist Jhesu;

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

in whom ech bildyng maad waxith in to an hooli temple in the Lord.

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

In whom also `be ye bildid togidere in to the habitacle of God, in the Hooli Goost.
