1 And you, being dead (in) your trespasses and sins,
2 in which you once walked(=lived) according to the course of this world, according the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were being (by) nature children of wrath just as the rest,
4 and [the] God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love (with) which He loved us,
5 even being(=when we were) dead (in) the trespasses, made us alive (with) [the] Christ - (by) grace you are having been saved(=have been saved)1 -
6 and raised (us) with (him) and seated (us) with (him) in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that he might show in the coming ages the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For (by) [the] grace you are having been saved(=have been saved)2 through faith. And this (is) not from you(=yourselves); (it is) the gift of God,
9 not from(=by) works, so that no one might(=can) boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which [the] God prepared in advance that we should walk in them.
11 Therefore, remember that once you (were) the Gentiles in (the) flesh, the ones being called uncircumcision(=the uncircumcised) by the one being called (the) circumcision, in (the) flesh, made by hand,
12 that you were (at) that time without Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of(=from) the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world,
13 and now in Christ Jesus you, the ones once being far away, have been brought near in(=by) the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, the one having made both one, and having destroyed(=has destroyed) the middle wall of partition, the hostility, in(=by) his flesh,
15 having abolished the law of the commandments in ordinances, that he might create (of) the two in himself one new man, (thus) making peace,
16 and he might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having put to death the hostility in(=by) it.
17 And having come, he preached peace to you, to the ones (being) far away and peace to the ones (being) near,
18 because through him we both have [the] access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 So then you are no longer foreigners and neighbors(=strangers), but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself’s being(=of which Christ Jesus was)3 cornerstone,
21 in whom every(=whole) building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in (the) Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling of God in (the) Spirit.
