Ephesians 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;	1 And you were once dead in your sins and offenses,
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:	2 in which you walked in times past, according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of this sky, the spirit who now works in the sons of distrust.
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.	3 And we too were all conversant in these things, in times past, by the desires of our flesh, acting according to the will of the flesh and according to our own thoughts. And so we were, by nature, sons of wrath, even like the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,	4 Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)	5 even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved.
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:	6 And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.	7 so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:	8 For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.	9 And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.	10 For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;	11 Because of this, be mindful that, in times past, you were Gentiles in the flesh, and that you were called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised in the flesh, something done by man,
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:	12 and that you were, in that time, without Christ, being foreign to the way of life of Israel, being visitors to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and being without God in this world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.	13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were in times past far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;	14 For he is our peace. He made the two into one, by dissolving the intermediate wall of separation, of opposition, by his flesh,
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;	15 emptying the law of commandments by decree, so that he might join these two, in himself, into one new man, making peace
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:	16 and reconciling both to God, in one body, through the cross, destroying this opposition in himself.
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.	17 And upon arriving, he evangelized peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.	18 For by him, we both have access, in the one Spirit, to the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;	19 Now, therefore, you are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God,
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;	20 having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:	21 In him, all that has been built is framed together, rising up into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.	22 In him, you also have been built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
