\subsection{Ephesians 2}
|
|
\VS{1} And you being dead in your trespasses and sins,
|
|
\VS{2} in which you formerly
|
|
walked according to the eternity of this world, according to the prince of
|
|
the ability of the air, of the spirit now working in the sons of
|
|
disobedience;
|
|
\VS{3} in whom you all also were formerly conducting
|
|
yourselves in the lusts [of your] flesh, doing the wants of [your] body and [your] minds, and we
|
|
were by nature children of wrath like the rest ---
|
|
\VS{4} But God being rich
|
|
in mercy, because of his great agape-love with which he agape-loved us,
|
|
\VS{5} and we being dead in trespasses, he co-made-[us]-alive in Christ --- by
|
|
grace are you saved --- and co-raised [us] and co-set [us] in the heavenlies in
|
|
Christ Jesus,
|
|
\VS{7} in order that he demonstrate in the coming eternities
|
|
the surpassing wealth of his grace in [his] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
|
|
\VS{8} For by grace are you saved through faith, and this not from you, [it is] the
|
|
gift of God,
|
|
\VS{9} not from works, lest anyone boast.
|
|
\VS{10} For we are
|
|
his work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, for which God
|
|
has before-prepared [us] in order that we walk in them.
|
|
\VS{11} Therefore be
|
|
remembering that you formerly [being] the nations in the flesh, who are called
|
|
uncircumcision by those being called circumcision, [which is] hand-made in the flesh,
|
|
\VS{12} that you were in that opportune-time\fnKairos() without Christ, being aliens from the
|
|
citizenship of Israel and strangers of the contracts of the promise, not
|
|
having hope, and godless in the world.
|
|
\VS{13} But now in Christ Jesus you
|
|
who formerly were afar have become nearby in the blood of Christ.
|
|
\VS{14} For he is our peace, the [one] having made both [into] one [thing] and having broken down the dividing wall of partition [between us], the enmity,
|
|
\VS{15} in his flesh having nullified the law of the commandments [contained] in decrees,
|
|
in order that he create those two in him into one new man, making peace,
|
|
\VS{16} and [in order that] he reconcile
|
|
both into one body to God through the cross, having killed the enmity in
|
|
him,
|
|
\VS{17} and having come, he good-newsed peace to you afar and peace to
|
|
you nearby;
|
|
\VS{18} for through him we both have access in one spirit to the
|
|
father.
|
|
\VS{19} Therefore you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you
|
|
are co-citizens of the holy [ones] and members of the household of God,
|
|
\VS{20}
|
|
having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, the
|
|
cornerstone being Christ Jesus,
|
|
\VS{21} in whom [the] entire building being fit
|
|
together increases into [a] holy temple in [the] Lord, in whom you also are co-built
|
|
to [a] dwelling place of God in [the] spirit.
