< Ephesians 2 >

1 And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins (of you, *no) 2 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 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 rich being in mercy because of the great love of Him with which He loved us, 5 even being we dead in trespasses made [us] alive with Christ — by grace you are saved. 6 and He raised [us] up together and He seated [us] together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 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 grace you are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, [it is] of God the gift, 9 not as a result of works, so that not anyone may boast. 10 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 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 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 Now however in Christ Jesus you yourselves the [ones] once being far off have become near by the blood of Christ. 14 he himself for is the peace of us, which having made both one and the barrier of the fence having broken down, 15 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 He may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross having slain the hostility by it; 17 And having come He evangelised peace to you the [ones] far off and (peace *no) to those [who are] near, 18 For through Him we have the access both by one Spirit to the Father. 19 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 upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, being [the] cornerstone Himself Christ Jesus 21 in whom [the] whole building being fitted together is increasing into a temple holy in [the] Lord, 22 in whom also you yourselves are being built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
