1 And you that were dead in trespasses and sinnes, And you were dead in the trespasses and sins As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 In the which in time passed ye walked, according to the course of this worlde, after the gouernour that ruleth in the ayre, the spirite that nowe worketh in the chyldren of disobedience. in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 Among whom we all had our conuersation also in tyme past in the lustes of our flesshe, fulfyllyng the wyll of the flesshe, and of the mynde, & were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as other: among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But God which is ryche in mercie, for his great loue wherwith he loued vs, But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickned vs together with Christ, by grace are ye saued: even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs syt together in the heauenly in Christe Iesus. and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 That in ages to come, he might shew the exceedyng ryches of his grace, in kyndnesse to vswarde through Christe Iesus. so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye made safe through fayth, and that not of your selues, it is the gyft of God: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 Not of workes, lest any man shoulde boast hym selfe. not a result of works, so that no one may boast. not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christe Iesus vnto good workes, whiche God hath ordeyned that we shoulde walke in them. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
11 Wherfore, remember that ye being in tyme passed gentiles in the flesshe, called vncircumcision of that which is called circumcision in the flesshe, made by handes: Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
12 That at that tyme ye were without Christe, beyng aliauntes from the common wealth of Israel, and straungers fro the testamentes of promise, hauyng no hope, & without God in this worlde. remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
13 But nowe in Christe Iesus, ye which sometyme were farre of, are made nye by the blood of Christe. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, which hath made both one: and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 Taking away in his flesshe the hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes, conteyned in ordinaunces, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makyng peace, by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 And that he myght reconcile both vnto God in one body through his crosse, and slewe hatred thereby. and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 And came and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 For through hym, we both haue an entraunce in one spirite vnto the father. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Nowe therefore, ye are no more straungers and foreyners: but citezins with the saintes, and of the housholde of God, So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household,
20 And are built vpon the foundation of the apostles and prophetes, Iesus Christe hym selfe beyng the head corner stone, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
21 In whom all the buyldyng coupled together, groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lorde. in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In whom ye also are buylded together for an habitation of God through the spirite. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
