Ephesians 2, side by side

¹You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

¹And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

²in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

²Wherein 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:

³We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

³Among 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.

⁴But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁶and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

⁷that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;

⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁸for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹not of works, that no one would boast.

⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹¹Therefore 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),

¹¹Wherefore 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;

¹²that 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.

¹²That 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:

¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

¹⁵having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

¹⁵Having 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;

¹⁶and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

¹⁸For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

¹⁹So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²⁰being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²²in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
