Προς Εφεσιους 2

1 και υμας οντας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν και ταις αμαρτιαις

And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 εν αις ποτε περιεπατησατε κατα τον αιωνα του κοσμου τουτου κατα τον αρχοντα της εξουσιας του αερος του πνευματος του νυν ενεργουντος εν τοις υιοις της απειθειας (aiōn g165)

Wherein in time past all of you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (pneuma) that now works in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 εν οις και ημεις παντες ανεστραφημεν ποτε εν ταις επιθυμιαις της σαρκος ημων ποιουντες τα θεληματα της σαρκος και των διανοιων και ημεν τεκνα φυσει οργης ως και οι λοιποι

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 ο δε θεος πλουσιος ων εν ελεει δια την πολλην αγαπην αυτου ην ηγαπησεν ημας

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love (agape) wherewith he loved us,

5 και οντας ημας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν συνεζωοποιησεν τω χριστω χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι

Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace all of you are saved; )

6 και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω ιησου

And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 ινα ενδειξηται εν τοις αιωσιν τοις επερχομενοις τον υπερβαλλοντα πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου εν χρηστοτητι εφ ημας εν χριστω ιησου (aiōn g165)

That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 τη γαρ χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι δια της πιστεως και τουτο ουκ εξ υμων θεου το δωρον

For by grace are all of you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τις καυχησηται

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 αυτου γαρ εσμεν ποιημα κτισθεντες εν χριστω ιησου επι εργοις αγαθοις οις προητοιμασεν ο θεος ινα εν αυτοις περιπατησωμεν

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 διο μνημονευετε οτι υμεις ποτε τα εθνη εν σαρκι οι λεγομενοι ακροβυστια υπο της λεγομενης περιτομης εν σαρκι χειροποιητου

Wherefore remember, that all of you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 οτι ητε εν τω καιρω εκεινω χωρις χριστου απηλλοτριωμενοι της πολιτειας του ισραηλ και ξενοι των διαθηκων της επαγγελιας ελπιδα μη εχοντες και αθεοι εν τω κοσμω

That at that time all of you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 νυνι δε εν χριστω ιησου υμεις οι ποτε οντες μακραν εγγυς εγενηθητε εν τω αιματι του χριστου

But now in Christ Jesus all of you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 αυτος γαρ εστιν η ειρηνη ημων ο ποιησας τα αμφοτερα εν και το μεσοτοιχον του φραγμου λυσας

For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 την εχθραν εν τη σαρκι αυτου τον νομον των εντολων εν δογμασιν καταργησας ινα τους δυο κτιση εν εαυτω εις ενα καινον ανθρωπον ποιων ειρηνην

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; in order to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

16 και αποκαταλλαξη τους αμφοτερους εν ενι σωματι τω θεω δια του σταυρου αποκτεινας την εχθραν εν αυτω

And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοις μακραν και τοις εγγυς

And came and preached peace to you which were far off, and to them that were nigh.

18 οτι δι αυτου εχομεν την προσαγωγην οι αμφοτεροι εν ενι πνευματι προς τον πατερα

For through him we both have access by one Spirit (pneuma) unto the Father.

19 αρα ουν ουκετι εστε ξενοι και παροικοι αλλα συμπολιται των αγιων και οικειοι του θεου

Now therefore all of you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 εποικοδομηθεντες επι τω θεμελιω των αποστολων και προφητων οντος ακρογωνιαιου αυτου ιησου χριστου

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

21 εν ω πασα οικοδομη συναρμολογουμενη αυξει εις ναον αγιον εν κυριω

In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 εν ω και υμεις συνοικοδομεισθε εις κατοικητηριον του θεου εν πνευματι

In whom all of you also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (pneuma)
