Ephesians 2 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Made Alive in Christ

1 And [fn]you [fn]were dead ^G3498 [fn]in your offenses ^G3900 and sins ^G266,

2 in which ^G3739 you previously ^G4218 walked ^G4043 according ^G2596 to the [fn]course ^G165 of this ^G3778 world ^G2889, according ^G2596 to the prince ^G758 of the power ^G1849 of the air ^G109, of the spirit ^G4151 that is now ^G3568 working ^G1754 in the [fn]sons ^G5207 of disobedience ^G543. 3 Among ^G1722 them [fn]we too ^G2532 all ^G3956 previously ^G4218 lived ^G390 in the lusts ^G1939 of our flesh ^G4561, [fn]indulging ^G4160 the desires ^G2307 of the flesh ^G4561 and of the [fn]mind ^G1271, and were by nature ^G5449 children ^G5043 of wrath ^G3709, just ^G2532 as the rest ^G3062. 4 But God ^G2316, being ^G1510 rich ^G4145 in mercy ^G1656, because ^G1223 of His great ^G4183 love ^G26 with which ^G3739 He loved ^G25 us, 5 even ^G2532 when we were dead ^G3498 [fn]in our wrongdoings ^G3900, made ^G4806 us alive ^G4806 together ^G4806 [fn]with Christ ^G5547 (by grace ^G5485 you have been ^G1510 saved ^G4982), 6 and raised ^G4891 us up with Him, and seated ^G4776 us with Him in the heavenly ^G2032 places in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424, 7 so ^G2443 that ^G2443 in the ages ^G165 to come ^G1904 He might show ^G1731 the [fn]boundless ^G5235 riches ^G4149 of His grace ^G5485 in kindness ^G5544 toward ^G1909 us in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424. 8 For by grace ^G5485 you have been saved ^G4982 through ^G1223 faith ^G4102; and [fn]this is not of yourselves ^G4771, it is the gift ^G1435 of God ^G2316; 9 not a result ^G1537 of works ^G2041, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 no ^G3361 one ^G5100 may boast ^G2744. 10 For we are His workmanship ^G4161, created ^G2936 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 for good ^G18 works ^G2041, which ^G3739 God ^G2316 prepared ^G4282 beforehand ^G4282 so ^G2443 that ^G2443 we would walk ^G4043 in them.

11 Therefore ^G1352 remember ^G3421 that previously ^G4218 you, the Gentiles ^G1484 in the flesh ^G4561, who are called ^G3004 “Uncircumcision ^G203” by the so-called ^G3004 “Circumcision ^G4061” which is performed ^G5499 in the flesh ^G4561 by ^G5499 human ^G5499 hands ^G5499— 12 remember that you were at that time ^G2540 separate ^G5565 from Christ ^G5547, [fn]excluded ^G526 from [fn]the people ^G4174 of Israel ^G2474, and strangers ^G3581 to the covenants ^G1242 of the promise ^G1860, having ^G2192 no ^G3361 hope ^G1680 and without ^G112 God ^G112 in the world ^G2889. 13 But now ^G3570 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 you who ^G3739 previously ^G4218 were far ^G3112 away ^G3112 [fn]have been ^G1096 brought ^G1096 near ^G1451 [fn]by the blood ^G129 of Christ ^G5547. 14 For He Himself ^G846 is our peace ^G1515, who made ^G4160 both ^G297 groups into one ^G1520 and broke ^G3089 down ^G3089 the [fn]barrier ^G5418 of the dividing ^G3320 wall ^G3320, 15 [fn]by abolishing ^G2673 [fn]in His flesh ^G4561 the hostility ^G2189, which is the Law ^G3551 composed of commandments ^G1785 expressed in ordinances ^G1378, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 in Himself ^G846 He might [fn]make ^G2936 the two ^G1417 one ^G1520 new ^G2537 person ^G444, in this way establishing ^G4160 peace ^G1515; 16 and that He might reconcile ^G604 them both ^G297 in one ^G1520 body ^G4983 to God ^G2316 through ^G1223 the cross ^G4716, [fn]by it having put ^G615 to ^G615 death ^G615 the hostility ^G2189. 17 And He came ^G2064 and preached ^G2097 peace ^G1515 to you who ^G3588 were far ^G3112 away ^G3112, and peace ^G1515 to those ^G3588 who were near ^G1451; 18 for through ^G1223 Him we both ^G297 have ^G2192 our access ^G4318 in one ^G1520 Spirit ^G4151 to the Father ^G3962. 19 So ^G686 then ^G686 you are no ^G3765 longer ^G3765 strangers ^G3581 and foreigners ^G3941, but you are fellow ^G4847 citizens ^G4847 with the [fn]saints ^G40, and are ^G3609 of ^G3609 God’s ^G2316 household ^G3609, 20 having been built ^G2026 on the foundation ^G2310 of the apostles ^G652 and prophets ^G4396, Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 Himself ^G846 being ^G1510 the cornerstone ^G204, 21 in whom ^G3739 the whole ^G3956 building ^G3619, being fitted ^G4883 together ^G4883, is growing ^G837 into a holy ^G40 [fn]temple ^G3485 in the Lord ^G2962, 22 in whom ^G3739 you also ^G2532 are being built ^G4925 together ^G4925 into a dwelling ^G2732 of God ^G2316 in the Spirit ^G4151.
