The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 et vos cum essetis mortui delictis et peccatis vestris
1
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in quibus aliquando ambulastis secundum saeculum mundi huius secundum principem potestatis aeris huius spiritus qui nunc operatur in filios diffidentiae
2
in 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 sons of disobedience,
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
3
among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 Deus autem qui dives est in misericordia propter nimiam caritatem suam qua dilexit nos
4
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 et cum essemus mortui peccatis convivificavit nos Christo gratia estis salvati
5
even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 et conresuscitavit et consedere fecit in caelestibus in Christo Iesu
6
and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 ut ostenderet in saeculis supervenientibus abundantes divitias gratiae suae in bonitate super nos in Christo Iesu
7
that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 gratia enim estis salvati per fidem et hoc non ex vobis Dei enim donum est
8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 non ex operibus ut ne quis glorietur
9
not of works, lest anyone should boast.
10 ipsius enim sumus factura creati in Christo Iesu in operibus bonis quae praeparavit Deus ut in illis ambulemus
10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand 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
11
Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh 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
12
that at that time you 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.
13 nunc autem in Christo Iesu vos qui aliquando eratis longe facti estis prope in sanguine Christi
13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 ipse est enim pax nostra qui fecit utraque unum et medium parietem maceriae solvens inimicitiam in carne sua
14
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
15 legem mandatorum decretis evacuans ut duos condat in semet ipsum in unum novum hominem faciens pacem
15
having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,
16 et reconciliet ambos in uno corpore Deo per crucem interficiens inimicitiam in semet ipso
16
and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.
17 et veniens evangelizavit pacem vobis qui longe fuistis et pacem his qui prope
17
And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
18 quoniam per ipsum habemus accessum ambo in uno Spiritu ad Patrem
18
For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
19 ergo iam non estis hospites et advenae sed estis cives sanctorum et domestici Dei
19
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 superaedificati super fundamentum apostolorum et prophetarum ipso summo angulari lapide Christo Iesu
20
having been built on 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
21
in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in quo et vos coaedificamini in habitaculum Dei in Spiritu
22
in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
