Ephesians 2

1 and also you, he filleth, who were dead in your sins, and in your offences,

And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,

2 in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 in which deeds we also, formerly, were conversant, in the cravings of our flesh; and we did the pleasure of our flesh, and of our mind, and were altogether the children of wrath, like the rest.

Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.

4 But God who is rich in his mercies, because of the great love with which he loved us,

But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

5 when we were dead in our sins, quickened us with the Messiah, and rescued us by his grace;

Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,

6 and resuscitated us with him, and seated us with him in heaven, in Jesus the Messiah:

And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,

7 that he might show to the coming ages the magnitude of the riches of his grace, and his benignity towards us in Jesus the Messiah. (aiōn g165)

That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn g165)

8 For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God:

For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest any one glory.

Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.

10 For we are his creation; who are created in Jesus the Messiah, for good works, which God hath before prepared for us to walk in.

For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.

11 Wherefore be mindful, that ye formerly were carnal Gentiles; and ye were called the uncircumcision, by that which is called the circumcision, and which is the work of the hands in the flesh.

Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,

12 And ye were, at that time, without the Messiah; and were aliens from the regulations of Israel; and strangers to the covenant of the promise; and were without hope, and without God, in the world.

That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.

13 But now, by Jesus the Messiah, ye who before were afar off, have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.

But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is himself our peace, who hath made the two become one, and hath demolished the wall which stood in the midst, and the enmity, by his flesh;

For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,

15 and by his prescriptions he hath abolished the law of ordinances; that, in himself, he might make the two to be one new man; and he hath made peace,

In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,

16 and hath reconciled both with God, in one body, and hath slain the enmity by his cross.

And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,

17 And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near:

And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.

18 because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father.

For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.

19 Wherefore, ye are not strangers, nor sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.

Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

20 And ye are built upon the foundations of the legates and the prophets; and Jesus the Messiah hath become the head of the corner in the edifice.

And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,

21 And in him all the edifice is framed together, and groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.

22 while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
