Ephesians 2:1-7
Wycliffe Bible
2 And when ye were dead in your guilts and sins,
2 in which ye wandered sometime after the course of this world, after the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that worketh now into the sons of unbelief;
3 in which also we all lived sometime [in whom we all lived sometime] in the desires of our flesh, doing the wills of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by kind the sons of wrath, as other men [as and others];
4 but God, that is rich in mercy, for his full much charity in which he loved us,
5 yea, when we were dead in sins, quickened us together in Christ, by whose grace ye be saved,
6 and again-raised together, and made together to sit in heavenly things in Christ Jesus;
7 that he should show in the worlds above coming the plenteous riches of his grace in goodness on [upon] us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:1-7
New Matthew Bible
Paul shows them what manner of people they were before their conversion, and what they are now in Christ. We are ordained for good works.
2 And you he has quickened to life also, who were dead in trespass and sin, 2 in which you walked in time past according to the course of this world, and followed the prince that rules in the air – the spirit that now works in the children of unbelief, 3 among whom we also had our living in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh and of the mind, and were naturally the children of wrath fully as well as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us with 5 even when we were dead by sin, has quickened us to life together in Christ (for by grace you are saved), 6 and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus, 7 in order to show in times to come the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:1-7
Authorized (King James) Version
2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
