Ephesians 2

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.

⁸ For by grace ye be saved by faith, and this not of you [and that not of you]; for it is the gift of God,

⁹ not of works, that no man have glory.

¹⁰ For we be the making of him, made of nought in Christ Jesus, in good works, which God hath ordained, that we go in those works [that God made ready before, that in them we go].

¹¹ For which thing be ye mindful, that sometime ye were heathen in flesh, which were said prepuce, from that that is said circumcision made by hand in flesh [from that that is said circumcision in flesh made by hand];

¹² and ye were in that time without Christ, aliened from the living of Israel, and guests of the testaments^[a], not having hope of promise, and without God in this world.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus ye that were sometime far, be made nigh in the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, that made both one, and unbinding the middle wall of a wall without mortar,

¹⁵ enmities in his flesh; and voided the law of commandments by dooms [voiding the law of commandments by dooms], that he make two in himself into a new man, making peace,

¹⁶ to reconcile both in one body to God by the cross [that he reconcile both in one body to God by the cross], slaying the enmities in himself.

¹⁷ And he coming preached peace to you that were far, and peace to them that were nigh;

¹⁸ for by him we both have nigh coming in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ Therefore now ye be not guests and strangers, but ye be citizens of saints, and [the] household members of God;

²⁰ above builded on the foundament of apostles and of prophets^[b], upon that highest corner stone, Christ Jesus;

²¹ in whom each building made waxeth into an holy temple in the Lord.

²² In whom also ye be builded together into the habitation of God, in the Holy Ghost. [In whom and ye be built together into the habitacle of God, in the Holy Ghost.]
