et vos cum essetis mortui delictis et peccatis vestris
And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins,
|
| 2 |
in quibus aliquando ambulastis secundum saeculum mundi huius secundum principem potestatis aeris huius spiritus qui nunc operatur in filios diffidentiae
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:
|
| 3 |
in quibus et nos omnes aliquando conversati sumus in desideriis carnis nostrae facientes voluntates carnis et cogitationum et eramus natura filii irae sicut et ceteri
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:
|
| 4 |
Deus autem qui dives est in misericordia propter nimiam caritatem suam qua dilexit nos
But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us
|
| 5 |
et cum essemus mortui peccatis convivificavit nos Christo gratia estis salvati

|
| 6 |
et conresuscitavit et consedere fecit in caelestibus in Christo Iesu

ut ostenderet in saeculis supervenientibus abundantes divitias gratiae suae in bonitate super nos in Christo Iesu
That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.
|
| 8 |
gratia enim estis salvati per fidem et hoc non ex vobis Dei enim donum est
For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.
|
| 9 |
non ex operibus ut ne quis glorietur
Not of works, that no man may glory.
|
| 10 |
ipsius enim sumus factura creati in Christo Iesu in operibus bonis quae praeparavit Deus ut in illis ambulemus
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.
|
| 11 |
propter quod memores estote quod aliquando vos gentes in carne qui dicimini praeputium ab ea quae dicitur circumcisio in carne manufacta
For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles is the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands:
|
| 12 |
quia eratis illo in tempore sine Christo alienati a conversatione Israhel et hospites testamentorum promissionis spem non habentes et sine Deo in mundo
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.
|
| 13 |
nunc autem in Christo Iesu vos qui aliquando eratis longe facti estis prope in sanguine Christi
But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
|
| 14 |
ipse est enim pax nostra qui fecit utraque unum et medium parietem maceriae solvens inimicitiam in carne sua
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
|
| 15 |
legem mandatorum decretis evacuans ut duos condat in semet ipsum in unum novum hominem faciens pacem
Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace
|
| 16 |
et reconciliet ambos in uno corpore Deo per crucem interficiens inimicitiam in semet ipso
And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
|
| 17 |
et veniens evangelizavit pacem vobis qui longe fuistis et pacem his qui prope
And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh.
|
| 18 |
quoniam per ipsum habemus accessum ambo in uno Spiritu ad Patrem
For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.
|
| 19 |
ergo iam non estis hospites et advenae sed estis cives sanctorum et domestici Dei
Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God,
|
| 20 |
superaedificati super fundamentum apostolorum et prophetarum ipso summo angulari lapide Christo Iesu
Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:
|
| 21 |
in quo omnis aedificatio constructa crescit in templum sanctum in Domino
In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.
|
| 22 |
in quo et vos coaedificamini in habitaculum Dei in Spiritu
