Ephesians 2

1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

1Also you--being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

1and you, being dead in your offences and sins —

2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

2in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:

3Among 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.

3among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath--as also the others,

3among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

4and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

4butGod, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

5even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,)

5(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

6and did raise <FI>us<Fi> up together, and did seat <FI>us<Fi> together in the heavenly <FI>places<Fi> in Christ Jesus,

6and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

7that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

7that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

8for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you--of God the gift,

8For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it isGod's gift:

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

9not of works, that no one may boast;

9not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

10for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

10For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, whichGod has before prepared that we should walk in them.

11Wherefore remember, that ye 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;

11Wherefore, remember, that ye <FI>were<Fi> once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

11Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

12That at that time ye 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:

12that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

12that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and withoutGod in the world:

13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

13and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,

13but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

14for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

14For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

15the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,

15having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

16and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,

16and might reconcile both in one body toGod by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;

17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

17and having come, he did proclaim good news--peace to you--the far-off and the nigh,

17and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.

18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

18because through him we have the access--we both--in one Spirit unto the Father.

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

19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

19Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

19So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household ofGod,

20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

20being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-<FI> stone<Fi> ,

20being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

21in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

21in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

22in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

22in whom ye also are built together for a habitation ofGod in [the] Spirit.
