The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --
1
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:
2
in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:
3
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
4
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
5
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
7
in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
9
not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
