| Ephesians 2:1 | To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins, | And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins, | You were made alive when you were dead through your trespasses and sins, |
| Ephesians 2:2 | 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 you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God; | in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience; |
| Ephesians 2:3 | 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 all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest. | among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. |
| Ephesians 2:4 | But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us, | But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us, | But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, |
| Ephesians 2:5 | caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ it is by grace that you have been saved | Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation), | even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have you been saved), |
| Ephesians 2:6 | raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus, | So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus; | and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, |
| Ephesians 2:7 | 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 in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus: | that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; |
| Ephesians 2:8 | 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 | Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: | for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, |
| Ephesians 2:9 | so that it may be impossible for any one to boast. | Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself. | not of works, that no one would boast. |
| Ephesians 2:10 | For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise. | For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them. | For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. |
| Ephesians 2:11 | 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. | For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands; | Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); |
| Ephesians 2:12 | 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 you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world. | that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. |
| Ephesians 2:13 | 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 you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. | But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. |
| Ephesians 2:14 | 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 the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down, | For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, |
| Ephesians 2:15 | 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 in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace; | having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; |
| Ephesians 2:16 | 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 that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division. | and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby. |
| Ephesians 2:17 | So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near; | And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near; | He came and preached peace to you who were far off, and peace to those who were near. |
| Ephesians 2:18 | because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father. | Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father. | For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. |
| Ephesians 2:19 | 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 you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God, | So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, |
| Ephesians 2:20 | You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself, | Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone, | being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; |
| Ephesians 2:21 | 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, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord; | in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; |
| Ephesians 2:22 | in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit. | In whom you, with the rest, are united together as a living-place of God in the Spirit. | in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. |
