RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και εσάς όντας νεκρούς διά τας παραβάσεις και τας αμαρτίας εζωοποίησεν,
1 Y [DE ella recibisteis] vosotros, que estabais muertos en vuestros delitos y pecados,
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
2 εις τας οποίας περιεπατήσατέ ποτέ κατά το πολίτευμα του κόσμου τούτου, κατά τον άρχοντα της εξουσίας του αέρος, του πνεύματος το οποίον ενεργεί την σήμερον εις τους υιούς της απειθείας·
2 En que en otro tiempo anduvisteis conforme á la condición de este mundo, conforme al príncipe de la potestad del aire, el espíritu que ahora obra en los hijos de desobediencia:
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 μεταξύ των οποίων και ημείς πάντες ανεστράφημέν ποτέ κατά τας επιθυμίας της σαρκός ημών, πράττοντες τα θελήματα της σαρκός και των διαλογισμών, και ήμεθα εκ φύσεως τέκνα οργής, ως και οι λοιποί·
3 Entre los cuales todos nosotros también vivimos en otro tiempo en los deseos de nuestra carne, haciendo la voluntad de la carne y de los pensamientos; y éramos por naturaleza hijos de ira, también como los demás.
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 ο Θεός όμως πλούσιος ων εις έλεος, διά την πολλήν αγάπην αυτού με την οποίαν ηγάπησεν ημάς,
4 Empero Dios, que es rico en misericordia, por su mucho amor con que nos amó,
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
5 και ενώ ήμεθα νεκροί διά τα αμαρτήματα, εζωοποίησεν ημάς μετά του Χριστού· κατά χάριν είσθε σεσωσμένοι·
5 Aun estando nosotros muertos en pecados, nos dió vida juntamente con Cristo; por gracia sois salvos;
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
6 και συνανέστησε και συνεκάθισεν εν τοις επουρανίοις διά Ιησού Χριστού,
6 Y juntamente nos resucitó, y asimismo nos hizo sentar en los cielos con Cristo Jesús,
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 διά να δείξη εις τους επερχομένους αιώνας τον υπερβάλλοντα πλούτον της χάριτος αυτού διά της προς ημάς αγαθότητος εν Χριστώ Ιησού.
7 Para mostrar en los siglos venideros las abundantes riquezas de su gracia en [su] bondad para con nosotros en Cristo Jesús.
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
8 Διότι κατά χάριν είσθε σεσωσμένοι διά της πίστεως· και τούτο δεν είναι από σας, Θεού το δώρον·
8 Porque por gracia sois salvos por la fe; y esto no de vosotros, [pues es] don de Dios:
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 ουχί εξ έργων, διά να μη καυχηθή τις.
9 No por obras, para que nadie se gloríe.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
10 Διότι αυτού ποίημα είμεθα, κτισθέντες εν Χριστώ Ιησού προς έργα καλά, τα οποία προητοίμασεν ο Θεός διά να περιπατήσωμεν εν αυτοίς.
10 Porque somos hechura suya, criados en Cristo Jesús para buenas obras, las cuales Dios preparó para que anduviésemos en ellas.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
11 Διά τούτο ενθυμείσθε ότι σεις οι ποτέ εθνικοί κατά σάρκα, οι λεγόμενοι ακροβυστία υπό της λεγομένης περιτομής της χειροποιήτου εν τη σαρκί,
11 Por tanto, acordaos que en otro tiempo vosotros los Gentiles en la carne, que erais llamados incircuncisión por la que se llama circuncisión, hecha con mano en la carne;
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 ότι ήσθε εν τω καιρώ εκείνω χωρίς Χριστού, απηλλοτριωμένοι από της πολιτείας του Ισραήλ και ξένοι των διαθηκών της επαγγελίας, ελπίδα μη έχοντες και όντες εν τω κόσμω χωρίς Θεού.
12 Que en aquel tiempo estabais sin Cristo, alejados de la república de Israel, y extranjeros á los pactos de la promesa, sin esperanza y sin Dios en el mundo.
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 Τώρα όμως διά του Ιησού Χριστού σεις οι ποτέ όντες μακράν εγείνετε πλησίον διά του αίματος του Χριστού.
13 Mas ahora en Cristo Jesús, vosotros que en otro tiempo estabais lejos, habéis sido hechos cercanos por la sangre de Cristo.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
14 Διότι αυτός είναι η ειρήνη ημών, όστις έκαμε τα δύο εν και έλυσε το μεσότοιχον του φραγμού,
14 Porque él es nuestra paz, que de ambos hizo uno, derribando la pared intermedia de separación;
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
15 καταργήσας την έχθραν εν τη σαρκί αυτού, τον νόμον των εντολών των εν τοις διατάγμασι, διά να κτίση εις εαυτόν τους δύο εις ένα νέον άνθρωπον, φέρων ειρήνην,
15 Dirimiendo en su carne las enemistades, la ley de los mandamientos en orden á ritos, para edificar en sí mismo los dos en un nuevo hombre, haciendo la paz,
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 και να συνδιαλλάξη αμφοτέρους εις εν σώμα προς τον Θεόν διά του σταυρού, θανατώσας δι' αυτού την έχθραν.
16 Y reconciliar por la cruz con Dios á ambos en un mismo cuerpo, matando en ella las enemistades.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
17 Και ελθών εκήρυξεν ευαγγέλιον ειρήνης εις εσάς τους μακράν και εις τους πλησίον,
17 Y vino, y anunció la paz á vosotros que estabais lejos, y á los que estaban cerca:
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
18 διότι δι' αυτού έχομεν αμφότεροι την είσοδον προς τον Πατέρα δι' ενός Πνεύματος.
18 Que por él los unos y los otros tenemos entrada por un mismo Espíritu al Padre.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 Άρα λοιπόν δεν είσθε πλέον ξένοι και πάροικοι αλλά συμπολίται των αγίων και οικείοι του Θεού,
19 Así que ya no sois extranjeros ni advenedizos, sino juntamente ciudadanos con los santos, y domésticos de Dios;
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 εποικοδομηθέντες επί το θεμέλιον των αποστόλων και προφητών, όντος ακρογωνιαίου λίθου αυτού του Ιησού Χριστού·
20 Edificados sobre el fundamento de los apóstoles y profetas, siendo la principal piedra del ángulo Jesucristo mismo;
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
21 εν τω οποίω πάσα η οικοδομή συναρμολογουμένη αυξάνεται εις ναόν άγιον εν Κυρίω·
21 En el cual, compaginado todo el edificio, va creciendo para [ser] un templo santo en el Señor:
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
22 εν τω οποίω και σεις συνοικοδομείσθε εις κατοικητήριον του Θεού διά του Πνεύματος.
22 En el cual vosotros también sois juntamente edificados, para morada de Dios en Espíritu.
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 …

… 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."
