以 弗 所 書 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
从死到生
2 过去,因为你们的罪孽和忤逆,你们在精神上死去了。 2 过去你们生活在这些罪恶之中,过着世人所过的生活,并且服从这个世界邪恶力量的统治者,就是现在正活动在那些不服从上帝的人之中的那个灵。 3 过去,我们也生活在这些人之中,放纵自己罪恶自我的欲望,做我们罪恶自我和内心所想的事,所以,就像世上其他的人一样,我们注定要经历上帝的愤怒。
4 但是,上帝的仁慈是非常丰富的,他对我们的爱是博大的。 5 当我们在精神上因为犯罪而死的时候,上帝让我们与基督一起得到了新的生命。他的恩典拯救了我们。 6 上帝让我们与基督一起复活,并在天国里与他同坐在他的宝座上,因为我们在基督耶稣之中。 7 上帝这么做,为的是要在未来的日子里能够展示他无与伦比的的恩典。上帝在基督耶稣里向我们显示了他的仁慈。 8 你们通过信仰得到拯救乃是上帝的恩典,这不出自你们自己,而是上帝的恩赐, 9 而不是因为你们做了什么,所以,也就没有人能够夸口。 10 上帝是我们的创造者,他在基督耶稣里创造了我们,以便我们去行善。上帝事先已为我们准备好了这些善行,以便我们毕生去实践它们。
在基督之中合为一体
11 因此,记住你们生来是非犹太人,是被那些自称为“受过割礼”的犹太人称为“没受过割礼的人”。(指由凡人之手操作的肉体手术。) 12 记住,过去你们没有基督,被排除在以色列社会(上帝的子民)之外,与上帝应许的契约无缘,你们生活在没有希望、没有上帝的世界里。 13 你们曾远离上帝,但是现在,在耶稣基督里,通过基督的血(死),被带到了上帝的身边。 14 因为基督本人就是我们和平的源泉,他使两种人(犹太人和非犹太人)成为一个民族。他用自己的身体推倒了使他们敌对的分裂之墙。 15 他废除了律法及其条例和规则,以便使这两种人(犹太人与非犹太人和他融为一体,)成为一个新的民族,从而和平相处。 16 他通过死在十字架上来结束两者之间的敌视。借助十字架上的死,他使他们成为一体,得以和上帝重归于好。 17 因此,基督的到来,既向你们这些远离上帝的人(非犹太人)传播了和平的福音,也向那些接近上帝的人(犹太人)传播了和平的福音。 18 因为,通过基督,凭借同一圣灵,我们都能来到父的面前。
19 所以,你们非犹太人不再是异客和陌生人了,而是上帝子民的同胞,你们属于上帝的家庭。 20 你们是一座建立在以基督本人为主要基石、由使徒和先知 [a]组成的基础上的建筑。 21 整座建筑,由于基督而连为一体,并崛起成为主内的一幢圣殿。 22 在基督里,你们这些人和其他人(犹太人)被建造在一起,成为上帝通过圣灵居住的地方。

以弗所書 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
靠恩典、憑信心
2 你們從前死在過犯和罪惡之中。 2 那時,你們隨從今世的風俗,順服在空中掌權的魔鬼,就是如今在一切叛逆上帝之人心中運行的邪靈。 3 我們以前也在他們當中隨從罪惡的本性[a],放縱肉體和心中的私慾,與其他人一樣本是惹上帝發怒的人。
4 然而上帝有豐富的憐憫,祂深愛我們, 5 儘管我們死在過犯之中,祂仍然使我們和基督一同活了過來。你們得救是因為上帝的恩典。 6 在基督耶穌裡,上帝使我們與基督一同復活,一同坐在天上, 7 好藉著祂在基督耶穌裡向我們所施的恩慈,向後世顯明祂無可比擬的豐富恩典。 8 你們得救是靠恩典,憑信心。這不是出於你們自己,而是上帝的禮物; 9 也不是由於你們的行為,以免有人自誇。 10 我們是上帝的傑作,是在基督耶穌裡創造的,為要叫我們做祂預先安排給我們的美善之事。
在基督裡合而為一
11 因此,你們要記住,從前按照肉體來說你們是外族人,那些肉體上受過人手所行割禮的以色列人稱你們為「沒有受過割禮的」。 12 那時,你們與基督無關,又不是以色列人,在上帝應許的諸約上是局外人,你們活在世上沒有盼望,沒有上帝。 13 但你們這些從前遠離上帝的人,如今在基督耶穌裡,靠著祂所流的血已經被帶到上帝面前。 14 因為基督耶穌親自給我們帶來了和平,以自己的身體拆毀了以色列人和外族人之間充滿敵意的隔牆,使雙方合而為一, 15 並廢除了以誡命和規條為內容的律法制度。祂這樣做是為了在自己裡面把雙方造成一個新人,成就和平, 16 並藉著十字架消滅彼此間的敵意,使雙方藉著一個身體與上帝和好。 17 祂來傳揚這平安的福音給你們這些離上帝很遠的外族人,也給我們這些離上帝很近的以色列人。 18 我們雙方都是靠著祂在同一位聖靈的引導下來到父上帝面前。
19 從此,你們不再是外人或過客,你們與眾聖徒一樣是天國的子民,是上帝家裡的人了。 20 你們已被建立在眾使徒和先知們的基礎上,基督耶穌自己是房角石。 21 整座建築的各部分都靠祂巧妙地連接在一起,逐漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠著祂被建造在一起,成為上帝藉著聖靈居住的地方。

Ephesians 2
New King James Version
By Grace Through Faith
2 And (A)you He made alive, (B)who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 (C)in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to (D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in (E)the sons of disobedience, 3 (F)among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in (G)the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and (H)were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, (I)who is rich in mercy, because of His (J)great love with which He loved us, 5 (K)even when we were dead in trespasses, (L)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together (M)in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in (N)His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 (O)For by grace you have been saved (P)through faith, and that not of yourselves; (Q)it is the gift of God, 9 not of (R)works, lest anyone should (S)boast. 10 For we are (T)His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Brought Near by His Blood
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called (U)the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 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 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one (V)new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might (W)reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby (X)putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For (Y)through Him we both have access (Z)by one Spirit to the Father.
Christ Our Cornerstone
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been (AA)built (AB)on the foundation of the (AC)apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being (AD)the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into (AE)a holy temple in the Lord, 22 (AF)in whom you also are being built together for a (AG)dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2
New International Version
Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,(A) 2 in which you used to live(B) when you followed the ways of this world(C) and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,(D) the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.(E) 3 All of us also lived among them at one time,(F) gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a](G) and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us,(H) God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions(I)—it is by grace you have been saved.(J) 6 And God raised us up with Christ(K) and seated us with him(L) in the heavenly realms(M) in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,(N) expressed in his kindness(O) to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace(P) you have been saved,(Q) through faith(R)—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works,(S) so that no one can boast.(T) 10 For we are God’s handiwork,(U) created(V) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(W) which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly(X) 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)(Y)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(Z) to the covenants of the promise,(AA) without hope(AB) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(AC) were far away have been brought near(AD) by the blood of Christ.(AE)
14 For he himself is our peace,(AF) who has made the two groups one(AG) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(AH) the law with its commands and regulations.(AI) His purpose was to create in himself one(AJ) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(AK) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(AL) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(AM) 18 For through him we both have access(AN) to the Father(AO) by one Spirit.(AP)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(AQ) but fellow citizens(AR) with God’s people and also members of his household,(AS) 20 built(AT) on the foundation(AU) of the apostles and prophets,(AV) with Christ Jesus himself(AW) as the chief cornerstone.(AX) 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple(AY) in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(AZ)
