Ephesians 2 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Made Alive in Christ

Eph 2:1And you [fn]were dead [fn]in your trespasses and sins,

Eph 2:2in which you formerly walked according to the [fn]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

Eph 2:3

Eph 2:3Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, [fn]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the [fn]mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Eph 2:4

Eph 2:4But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Eph 2:5

Eph 2:5even when we were dead [fn]in our transgressions, made us alive together [fn]with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

Eph 2:6

Eph 2:6and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Eph 2:7

Eph 2:7so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Eph 2:8

Eph 2:8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and [fn]that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

Eph 2:9

Eph 2:9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Eph 2:10

Eph 2:10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Eph 2:11

Eph 2:11Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

Eph 2:12

Eph 2:12remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, [fn]excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

Eph 2:13

Eph 2:13But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off [fn]have been brought near [fn]by the blood of Christ.

Eph 2:14

Eph 2:14For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the [fn]barrier of the dividing wall,

Eph 2:15

Eph 2:15 [fn]by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might [fn]make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

Eph 2:16

Eph 2:16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, [fn]by it having put to death the enmity.

Eph 2:17

Eph 2:17AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

Eph 2:18

Eph 2:18for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Eph 2:19

Eph 2:19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the [fn]saints, and are of God’s household,

Eph 2:20

Eph 2:20having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

Eph 2:21

Eph 2:21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy [fn]temple in the Lord,

Eph 2:22

Eph 2:22in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
