Ephesians 2

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

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

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)

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)

3 We also all once lived amongst 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua,

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

7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Messiah Yeshua; (aiōn g165)

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)

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

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

9 not of works, that no one would boast.

not of works, lest any one glory.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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;

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,

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 being built on the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief cornerstone;

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.

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

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

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

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