PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 I vas koji bejaste mrtvi za prestupljenja i grehe svoje,
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
1 Καὶ ὑμᾶς ὄντας νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασι καὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις,
2 u kojima nekad hodiste po veku ovog sveta, po knezu koji vlada u vetru, po duhu koji sad radi u sinovima protivljenja;
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 children of disobedience.
2 ἐν αἷς ποτε περιεπατήσατε κατὰ τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου, κατὰ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ ἀέρος, τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ νῦν ἐνεργοῦντος ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀπειθείας·
3 u kojima i mi svi živesmo nekada po željama tela svog, čineći volju tela i pomisli, i bejasmo rođena deca gneva, kao i ostali;
3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
3 ἐν οἷς καὶ ἡμεῖς πάντες ἀνεστράφημέν ποτε ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις τῆς σαρκὸς ἡμῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ θελήματα τῆς σαρκὸς καὶ τῶν διανοιῶν, καὶ ἦμεν τέκνα φύσει ὀργῆς, ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί· —
4 ali Bog, koji je bogat u milosti, za premnogu ljubav svoju, koju ima k nama,
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
4 ὁ δὲ Θεὸς πλούσιος ὢν ἐν ἐλέει, διὰ τὴν πολλὴν ἀγάπην αὐτοῦ ἣν ἠγάπησεν ἡμᾶς,
5 i nas koji bejasmo mrtvi od grehova ožive s Hristom (blagodaću ste spaseni),
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
5 καὶ ὄντας ἡμᾶς νεκροὺς τοῖς παραπτώμασι συνεζωοποίησε τῷ Χριστῷ· χάριτί ἐστε σεσωσμένοι·
6 i s Njim vaskrse i posadi na nebesima u Hristu Isusu.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
6 καὶ συνήγειρε καὶ συνεκάθισεν ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
7 Da pokaže u vekovima koji idu preveliko bogatstvo blagodati svoje dobrotom na nama u Hristu Isusu.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
7 ἵνα ἐνδείξηται ἐν τοῖς αἰῶσι τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις τὸν ὑπερβάλλοντα πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ ἐν χρηστότητι ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
8 Jer ste blagodaću spaseni kroz veru; i to nije od vas, dar je Božji,
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
8 τῇ γὰρ χάριτί ἐστε σεσωσμένοι διὰ τῆς πίστεως· καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐξ ὑμῶν, Θεοῦ τὸ δῶρον,
9 ne od dela, da se niko ne pohvali.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
9 οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἵνα μή τις καυχήσηται.
10 Jer smo Njegov posao, sazdani u Hristu Isusu za dela dobra, koja Bog unapred pripravi da u njima hodimo.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
10 αὐτοῦ γάρ ἐσμεν ποίημα, κτισθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς, οἷς προητοίμασεν ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν.
11 Zato se opominjite da vi koji ste nekada po telu neznabošci bili i nazivani neobrezanje od onih koji su se zvali po telu obrezanje, koje se rukom radilo,
11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
11 Διὸ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ὑμεῖς ποτε τὰ ἔθνη ἐν σαρκί, οἱ λεγόμενοι ἀκροβυστία ὑπὸ τῆς λεγομένης περιτομῆς ἐν σαρκὶ χειροποιήτου,
12 da bejaste u ono vreme bez Hrista, odvojeni od društva Izrailjevog, i bez dela u zavetima obećanja, nadu ne imajući, i bezbožni na svetu:
12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
12 ὅτι ἦτε ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ χωρὶς Χριστοῦ, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς πολιτείας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ξένοι τῶν διαθηκῶν τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, ἐλπίδα μὴ ἔχοντες καὶ ἄθεοι ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ.
13 A sad u Hristu Isusu, vi koji ste nekada bili daleko, blizu postadoste krvlju Hristovom.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
13 νυνὶ δὲ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ὑμεῖς οἱ ποτὲ ὄντες μακρὰν ἐγγὺς ἐγενήθητε ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
14 Jer je On mir naš, koji oboje sastavi u jedno, i razvali plot koji je rastavljao, neprijateljstvo, telom svojim,
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
14 αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν ἡ εἰρήνη ἡμῶν, ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀμφότερα ἓν καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας,
15 zakon zapovesti naukama ukinuvši; da iz oboga načini sobom jednog novog čoveka, čineći mir;
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
15 τὴν ἔχθραν, ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασι καταργήσας, ἵνα τοὺς δύο κτίσῃ ἐν ἑαυτῷ εἰς ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον ποιῶν εἰρήνην,
16 i da pomiri s Bogom oboje u jednom telu krstom, ubivši neprijateljstvo na njemu.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
16 καὶ ἀποκαταλλάξῃ τοὺς ἀμφοτέρους ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῷ Θεῷ διὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἀποκτείνας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν αὐτῷ·
17 I došavši propovedi u jevanđelju mir vama dalekima i onima koji su blizu.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
17 καὶ ἐλθὼν εὐηγγελίσατο εἰρήνην ὑμῖν τοῖς μακρὰν καὶ τοῖς ἐγγύς,
18 Jer On dovede k Ocu oboje u jednom duhu.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
18 ὅτι δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἔχομεν τὴν προσαγωγὴν οἱ ἀμφότεροι ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα.
19 Tako dakle više niste tuđi i došljaci, nego živite sa svetima i domaći ste Bogu,
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
19 ἄρα οὖν οὐκέτι ἐστὲ ξένοι καὶ πάροικοι, ἀλλὰ συμπολῖται τῶν ἁγίων καὶ οἰκεῖοι τοῦ Θεοῦ,
20 nazidani na temelju apostola i proroka, gde je kamen od ugla sam Isus Hristos,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
20 ἐποικοδομηθέντες ἐπὶ τῷ θεμελίῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ προφητῶν, ὄντος ἀκρογωνιαίου αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
21 na kome sva građevina sastavljena raste za crkvu svetu u Gospodu;
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
21 ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν Κυρίῳ·
22 na kome ćete se i vi sazidati za stan Božji u duhu.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
22 ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὑμεῖς συνοικοδομεῖσθε εἰς κατοικητήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν Πνεύματι.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… dead, having loosed the bands of the grave." "In whom, though now ye see Him not, ye believe, and believing, rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory;" into which joy many desire to enter, knowing that "by grace ye are saved, not of works," but by the will of God through Jesus Christ.
… and His subjection to death, he employs the name of Christ, as in that passage: "Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ died." And again: "But now, in Christ, ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." And again: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a …
In Thy Church, therefore, O our God, according to Thy grace which Thou hast accorded unto it, since we are Thy workmanship created in good works, there are not only those who are spiritually set over, but those also who are spiritually subjected to those placed over them; for in this manner hast Thou made man, male and female, in …

… a hedge; as the prophet saith: "Thou hast broken down her hedge, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck off her grapes:" and, "I have set a hedge about it:" and Paul, "Having broken down the middle wall of the hedge." But others say, that the saying, "Why was the hedge broken up for thee?" was …
