1 A lso you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

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

2 i n 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,

Wherein 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 a mong 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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 n ot of works, that no one may boast;

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

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

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

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

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 t hat 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;

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

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

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

15 t he 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,

Having 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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