| Ephesians 2:1 | And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins, | To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins, | and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins |
| Ephesians 2:2 | Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: | which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience to you God has given Life. | in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: |
| Ephesians 2:3 | In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: | Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others. | among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest: |
| Ephesians 2:4 | But God, (who is rich in mercy,) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us, | But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us, | but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us, |
| Ephesians 2:5 | Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved,) | caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ it is by grace that you have been saved | (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,) |
| Ephesians 2:6 | And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus. | raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus, | and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, |
| Ephesians 2:7 | That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. | in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. | that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. |
| Ephesians 2:8 | For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; | For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit | For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift: |
| Ephesians 2:9 | Not of works, that no man may glory. | so that it may be impossible for any one to boast. | not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. |
| Ephesians 2:10 | For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. | For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise. | For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them. |
| Ephesians 2:11 | For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands; | Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised their circumcision being one which the knife has effected. | Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand; |
| Ephesians 2:12 | That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world. | At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world. | that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: |
| Ephesians 2:13 | But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. | But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ. | but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ. |
| Ephesians 2:14 | For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: | For He is our peace He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall, | For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure, |
| Ephesians 2:15 | Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace; | by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man, | having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace; |
| Ephesians 2:16 | And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself. | thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross slaying by it their mutual enmity. | and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity; |
| Ephesians 2:17 | And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh. | So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near; | and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh. |
| Ephesians 2:18 | For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father. | because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father. | For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father. |
| Ephesians 2:19 | Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God, | You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family. | So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, |
| Ephesians 2:20 | Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone: | You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself, | being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone, |
| Ephesians 2:21 | In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord. | in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord; | in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord; |
| Ephesians 2:22 | In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit. | in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit. | in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit. |
