Ephesians 2

1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

And you [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; (aiōn g165)

3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: —

4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in Christ Jesus:

7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)

that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: (aiōn g165)

8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

not of works, that no man should glory.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] making peace;

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

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

21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
