1. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins
|
1. And G2532 you G5209 hath he quickened, who were G5607 dead G3498 in trespasses G3900 and G2532 sins G266
|
|
2. in which you previously walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient.
|
2. Wherein G1722 G3739 in time past G4218 ye walked G4043 according G2596 to the G3588 course G165 of this G5127 world G2889 , according G2596 to the G3588 prince G758 of the G3588 power G1849 of the G3588 air G109 , the G3588 spirit G4151 that now worketh G1754 G3568 in G1722 the G3588 children G5207 of disobedience G543 :
|
|
3. We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and by nature we were children under wrath, as the others were also.
|
3. Among G1722 whom G3739 also G2532 we G2249 all G3956 had our conversation G390 in times past G4218 in G1722 the G3588 lusts G1939 of our G2257 flesh G4561 , fulfilling G4160 the G3588 desires G2307 of the G3588 flesh G4561 and G2532 of the G3588 mind G1271 ; and G2532 were G2258 by nature G5449 the children G5043 of wrath G3709 , even G2532 as G5613 others G3062 .
|
|
4. But God, who is abundant in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us,
|
4. But G1161 God G2316 , who is G5607 rich G4145 in G1722 mercy G1656 , for G1223 his G848 great G4183 love G26 wherewith G3739 he loved G25 us G2248 ,
|
|
5. made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. By grace you are saved!
|
5. Even G2532 when we G2248 were G5607 dead G3498 in sins G3900 , hath quickened us together G4806 with Christ, by G5547 ( grace G5485 ye are G2075 saved G4982 ;)
|
|
6. He also raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,
|
6. And G2532 hath raised us up together G4891 , and G2532 made us sit together G4776 in G1722 heavenly G2032 places in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 :
|
|
7. so that in the coming ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
|
7. That G2443 in G1722 the G3588 ages G165 to come G1904 he might show G1731 the G3588 exceeding G5235 riches G4149 of his G848 grace G5485 in G1722 his kindness G5544 toward G1909 us G2248 through G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
8. For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift--
|
8. For G1063 by grace G5485 are G2075 ye saved G4982 through G1223 faith G4102 ; and G2532 that G5124 not G3756 of G1537 yourselves G5216 : it is the G3588 gift G1435 of God G2316 :
|
|
9. not from works, so that no one can boast.
|
9. Not G3756 of G1537 works G2041 , lest G3363 any man G5100 should boast G2744 .
|
|
10. For we are His creation-- created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.
|
10. For G1063 we are G2070 his G846 workmanship G4161 , created G2936 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 unto G1909 good G18 works G2041 , which G3739 God G2316 hath before ordained G4282 that G2443 we should walk G4043 in G1722 them G846 .
|
|
11. So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh-- called "the uncircumcised" by those called "the circumcised," done by hand in the flesh.
|
11. Wherefore G1352 remember G3421 , that G3754 ye G5210 being in time past G4218 Gentiles G1484 in G1722 the flesh G4561 , who G3588 are called G3004 Uncircumcision G203 by G5259 that which is called G3004 the Circumcision G4061 in G1722 the flesh G4561 made by hands G5499 ;
|
|
12. At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, with no hope and without God in the world.
|
12. That G3754 at G1722 that G1565 time G2540 ye were G2258 without G5565 Christ G5547 , being aliens G526 from the G3588 commonwealth G4174 of Israel G2474 , and G2532 strangers G3581 from the G3588 covenants G1242 of promise G1860 , having G2192 no G3361 hope G1680 , and G2532 without God G112 in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 :
|
|
13. But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.
|
13. But G1161 now G3570 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ye G5210 who sometimes were G5607 G4218 far off G3112 are made G1096 nigh G1451 by G1722 the G3588 blood G129 of Christ G5547 .
|
|
14. For He is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In His flesh,
|
14. For G1063 he G846 is G2076 our G2257 peace G1515 , who hath made G4160 both G297 one G1520 , and G2532 hath broken down G3089 the G3588 middle wall G3320 of partition G5418 between us ;
|
|
15. He did away with the law of the commandments in regulations, so that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, resulting in peace.
|
15. Having abolished G2673 in G1722 his G848 flesh G4561 the G3588 enmity G2189 , even the G3588 law G3551 of commandments G1785 contained in G1722 ordinances G1378 ; for to G2243 make G2936 in G1722 himself G1438 of twain G1417 G1519 one G1520 new G2537 man G444 , so making G4160 peace G1515 ;
|
|
16. He did this so that He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross and put the hostility to death by it.
|
16. And G2532 that he might reconcile G604 both G297 unto God G2316 in G1722 one G1520 body G4983 by G1223 the G3588 cross G4716 , having slain G615 the G3588 enmity G2189 thereby G1722 G846 :
|
|
17. When Christ came, He proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
|
17. And G2532 came G2064 and preached G2097 peace G1515 to you G5213 which were afar off G3112 , and G2532 to them that were nigh G1451 .
|
|
18. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
|
18. For G3754 through G1223 him G846 we both G297 have G2192 access G4318 by G1722 one G1520 Spirit G4151 unto G4314 the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
|
19. So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God's household,
|
19. Now G686 therefore G3767 ye are G2075 no more G3765 strangers G3581 and G2532 foreigners G3941 , but G235 fellow citizens G4847 with the G3588 saints G40 , and G2532 of the household G3609 of God G2316 ;
|
|
20. built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
|
20. And are built G2026 upon G1909 the G3588 foundation G2310 of the G3588 apostles G652 and G2532 prophets G4396 , Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 himself G846 being G5607 the chief corner G204 stone ;
|
|
21. The whole building is being fitted together in Him and is growing into a holy sanctuary in the Lord,
|
21. In G1722 whom G3739 all G3956 the G3588 building G3619 fitly framed together G4883 groweth G837 unto G1519 a holy G40 temple G3485 in G1722 the Lord G2962 :
|
|
22. in whom you also are being built together for God's dwelling in the Spirit.
|
22. In G1722 whom G3739 ye G5210 also G2532 are builded together G4925 for G1519 a habitation G2732 of God G2316 through G1722 the Spirit G4151 .
