New International Version NIV
1 Y El os dio vida a vosotros, que estabais muertos en vuestros delitos y pecados,
1
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 en los cuales anduvisteis en otro tiempo según la corriente de este mundo, conforme al príncipe de la potestad del aire, el espíritu que ahora opera en los hijos de desobediencia,
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 entre los cuales también todos nosotros en otro tiempo vivíamos en las pasiones de nuestra carne, satisfaciendo los deseos de la carne y de la mente, y éramos por naturaleza hijos de ira, lo mismo que los demás.
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 Pero Dios, que es rico en misericordia, por causa del gran amor con que nos amó,
4
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 aun cuando estábamos muertos en nuestros delitos, nos dio vida juntamente con Cristo (por gracia habéis sido salvados),
5
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 y con El nos resucitó, y con El nos sentó en los lugares celestiales en Cristo Jesús,
6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 a fin de poder mostrar en los siglos venideros las sobreabundantes riquezas de su gracia por su bondad para con nosotros en Cristo Jesús.
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 Porque por gracia habéis sido salvados por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros, sino que es don de Dios;
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 no por obras, para que nadie se gloríe.
9
not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 Porque somos hechura suya, creados en Cristo Jesús para hacer buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó de antemano para que anduviéramos en ellas.
10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
11 Recordad, pues, que en otro tiempo vosotros los gentiles en la carne, llamados incircuncisión por la tal llamada circuncisión, hecha por manos en la carne,
11
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
12 recordad que en ese tiempo estabais separados de Cristo, excluidos de la ciudadanía de Israel, extraños a los pactos de la promesa, sin tener esperanza, y sin Dios en el mundo.
12
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
13 Pero ahora en Cristo Jesús, vosotros, que en otro tiempo estabais lejos, habéis sido acercados por la sangre de Cristo.
13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 Porque El mismo es nuestra paz, quien de ambos pueblos hizo uno, derribando la pared intermedia de separación,
14
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 aboliendo en su carne la enemistad, la ley de los mandamientos expresados en ordenanzas, para crear en sí mismo de los dos un nuevo hombre, estableciendo así la paz,
15
by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 y para reconciliar con Dios a los dos en un cuerpo por medio de la cruz, habiendo dado muerte en ella a la enemistad.
16
and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 Y VINO Y ANUNCIO PAZ A VOSOTROS QUE ESTABAIS LEJOS, Y PAZ A LOS QUE ESTABAN CERCA;
17
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 porque por medio de El los unos y los otros tenemos nuestra entrada al Padre en un mismo Espíritu.
18
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Así pues, ya no sois extranjeros ni advenedizos, sino que sois conciudadanos de los santos y sois de la familia de Dios,
19
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household,
20 edificados sobre el fundamento de los apóstoles y profetas, siendo Cristo Jesús mismo la piedra angular,
20
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
21 en quien todo el edificio, bien ajustado, va creciendo para ser un templo santo en el Señor,
21
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
22 en quien también vosotros sois juntamente edificados para morada de Dios en el Espíritu.
22
And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
