Chapter 2

¹ And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins,
² Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief:
³ In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:
⁴ But God, (who is rich in mercy,) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,
⁵ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,)
⁶ And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.
⁷ That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.
⁸ For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;
⁹ Not of works, that no man may glory.
¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.
¹¹ For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore 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 without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.
¹³ But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
¹⁵ Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
¹⁶ And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.
¹⁸ For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.
¹⁹ Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,
²⁰ Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:
²¹ In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.
²² In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

Chapter 2

¹ And you hath he revived, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
² In which 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:
³ Among whom also we all had our manner of life 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 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
⁵ Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
⁶ And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:
⁷ That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us, through Christ Jesus.
⁸ For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
⁹ Not by works, lest any man should boast.
¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
¹¹ Wherefore 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;
¹² That 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:
¹³ But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
¹⁵ Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances: to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;
¹⁶ And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity:
¹⁷ And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
¹⁸ For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.
¹⁹ Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
²⁰ And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone;
²¹ In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord:
²² In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

¹ were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
² 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;

¹¹ 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);
¹² 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.
¹³ now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
¹⁴ he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

Chapter 2

¹ and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --
² in 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:
³ among 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:
⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
⁵ (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
⁶ and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
⁷ that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
⁸ For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
⁹ not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
¹¹ Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;
¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
¹³ but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
¹⁴ For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,
¹⁵ having 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;
¹⁶ and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;
¹⁷ and, 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.
¹⁸ For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.
¹⁹ So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,
²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,
²¹ in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;
²² in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.

Chapter 2

¹ And you [did he make alive,] when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
² wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
³ among whom we also all once lived in the lust 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 wherewith he loved us,
⁵ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive 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:
⁷ that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:
⁸ 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 man should glory.
¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
¹¹ Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
¹² 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 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 brake down the middle wall of partition,
¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace;
¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
¹⁷ 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 unto the Father.
¹⁹ 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 upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
²¹ in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
²² in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Chapter 2

¹ And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,
² In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;
³ Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.
⁴ But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,
⁵ Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),
⁶ So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;
⁷ That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:
⁸ Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:
⁹ Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.
¹⁰ For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
¹¹ For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
¹² That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.
¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
¹⁴ For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,
¹⁵ Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;
¹⁶ And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.
¹⁷ And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;
¹⁸ Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.
¹⁹ So then you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God,
²⁰ Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,
²¹ In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;
²² In whom you, with the rest, are united together as a living-place of God in the Spirit.
