1 ¶ And he has made you alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

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

2 i n which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the will of the prince of the power of this air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience,

in 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,

3 a mong 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 all the others.

among 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,

4 ¶ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great charity with which he loved us,

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

5 e ven as we were dead in sins, he has made us alive together with the Christ (by whose grace ye are saved)

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

6 a nd has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

and did raise up together, and did seat together in the heavenly in Christ Jesus,

7 T hat in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

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

8 F or by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God,

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

9 N ot of works, lest any man should boast.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 F or we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has prepared that we should walk in them.

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

11 ¶ Therefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who were called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh, which is made by hands,

Wherefore, remember, that ye once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

12 t hat 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,

that 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;

13 b ut now in Christ Jesus ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ.

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

14 ¶ For he is our peace, who of both has made one, breaking down the middle wall of separation,

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

15 a bolishing in his flesh the enmity, which was the law of commandments in the order of rites, to edify in himself the two in one new man, making peace,

the 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,

16 a nd to reconcile both with God by the cross in one body, having slain the enmity thereby;

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

17 a nd he came and preached peace unto you who were afar off and to those that were near.

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

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

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

19 N ow therefore ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God,

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

20 a nd are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,

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

21 i n whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto a holy temple in the Lord,

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

22 i n whom ye also are being built together for the habitation of God in the Spirit.

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