Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 And hath quickened you also that were deed in treaspasse and synne
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
2 in the which in tyme passed ye walked acordynge to the course of this worlde and after the governer that ruleth in the ayer the sprete that now worketh in the children of vnbelefe
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.
3 amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesshe and fullfilled the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were naturally the children of wrath even as wel as other.
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.
4 But God which is rich in mercy thorow his greate love wherwith he loved vs
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were deed by synne hath quickened vs together in Christ (for by grace are ye saved)
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
6 and hath raysed vs vp together and made vs sitte together in hevenly thynges thorow Christ Iesus
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 for to shewe in tymes to come the excedynge ryches of his grace in kyndnes to vs warde in Christ Iesu.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
8 For by grace are ye made safe thorowe fayth and that not of youre selves. For it is the gyfte of God
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 and commeth not of workes lest eny man shuld bost him silfe.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
10 For we are his worckmanshippe created in Christ Iesu vnto good workes vnto the which god ordeyned vs before that we shuld walke in them.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
11 Wherfore remember that ye beynge in tyme passed getyls in the flesshe and were called vncircumcision to the which are called circucision in the flesshe which circucision is made by hondes:
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),
12 Remember I saye that ye were at that tyme with oute Christ and were reputed aliantes from the comen welth of Israel and were straugers from the testamentes of promes and had no hope and were with out god in this worlde.
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.
13 But now in Christ Iesu ye which a whyle agoo were farre of are made nye by the bloude of Christ.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
14 For he is oure peace whych hath made of both one and hath broken doune the wall that was a stoppe bitwene vs
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
15 and hath also put awaye thorow his flesshe the cause of hatred (that is to saye the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe written) for to make of twayne one newe man in him silfe so makynge peace:
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,
16 and to reconcile both vnto god in one body thorow his crosse and slewe hatred therby:
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
17 and came and preached peace to you which were afarre of and to them that were nye.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
18 For thorow him we both have an open waye in in one sprete vnto the father.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 Now therfore ye are no moare straugers and foreners: but citesyns with the saynctes and of the housholde of god:
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
20 and are bilt apon the foundacion of the apostles and prophetes Iesus Christ beynge the heed corner stone
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
21 in whom every bildynge coupled togedder groweth vnto an holy temple in the lorde
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22 in whom ye also are bilt togedder and made an habitacion for god in the sprete.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

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 …
