Mga Taga-Efeso 2

Binuhay Kayo Kasama ni Kristo
1Noong una, itinuring kayong mga patay dahil sa mga pagsuway ninyo at mga kasalanan. 2Namumuhay kayo dati sa kasalanan, gaya ng mga taong makamundo. Sakop kayo noon ng pinuno ng mga espiritung naghahari sa mundo. At siya ang espiritung kumikilos sa puso ng mga taong ayaw sumunod sa Diyos. 3Dati, namuhay din tayong katulad nila. Namuhay tayo ayon sa pagnanasa ng laman at sinunod natin ang masasamang hilig ng katawan at pag-iisip. Sa kalagayan nating iyon, kasama rin sana nila tayo na nararapat parusahan ng Diyos.
4Ngunit napakamaawain ng Diyos at napakadakila ng pag-ibig niya sa atin, 5na kahit itinuring tayong patay dahil sa mga kasalanan natin, muli niya tayong binuhay kasama ni Kristo. (Kaya naligtas tayo dahil lamang sa biyaya ng Diyos.) 6At dahil sa pakikipag-isa natin kay Kristo Hesus, binuhay tayo ng Diyos mula sa mga patay kasama ni Kristo, upang maghari tayong kasama niya sa kaharian sa langit. 7Ginawa niya ito upang sa darating na panahon ay maipakita niya sa lahat ang hindi mapapantayang kasaganaan ng kanyang biyaya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kabutihan sa atin na nasaksihan natin kay Kristo Hesus. 8Sapagkat dahil sa biyaya ng Diyos ay naligtas kayo nang sumampalataya kayo kay Kristo. Kaloob ito ng Diyos, at hindi galing sa inyo. 9Hindi ito nakasalalay sa mabubuti ninyong gawa, upang walang maipagmalaki ang sinuman. 10Nilikha tayo ng Diyos; at sa pakikipag-isa natin kay Kristo Hesus, binigyan niya tayo ng bagong buhay, upang gumawa tayo ng kabutihan na noon paʼy itinalaga na ng Diyos na gawin natin.
11Alalahanin ninyo ang inyong kalagayan noon bilang mga Hentil. Ipinanganak kayong Hentil at sinasabi ng mga Hudyo na wala kayong kaugnayan sa Diyos dahil sa hindi kayo katulad nila na mga tuli, pero ang pagkakatuling ito ay sa laman lang. 12Alalahanin rin ninyo na noon ay hindi nʼyo pa kilala si Kristo; hindi kayo kabilang sa mga mamamayan ng Israel at hindi sakop ng mga kasunduan ng Diyos na batay sa mga pangako niya. Namumuhay kayo sa mundong ito nang walang pag-asa at walang Diyos. 13Ngunit kayo ngayon ay nakay Kristo Hesus na. Malayo kayo noon sa Diyos, pero ngayon ay malapit na sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng dugo ni Kristo.
14Sapagkat siya mismo ang nagbigay sa atin ng kapayapaan. Inalis niya ang alitang namamagitan sa atin, na animoʼy pader na naghihiwalay sa atin. 15Sa kanyang kamatayan ay pinawalang-bisa niya ang Kautusan, kasama ang mga utos at mga tuntunin nito. Ginawa niya ito upang maging isang katawan tayong mga Hudyo at mga Hentil, at sa ganitong paraan ay pinagkasundo niya tayo. 16Ngayong pinag-isa na ang dalawa sa iisang katawan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kamatayan sa krus, winakasan na niya ang alitan natin at ibinalik niya tayo sa Diyos. 17Pumarito si Kristo at ipinahayag ang Magandang Balita na nagbibigay ng kapayapaan sa inyong mga Hentil na noong unaʼy malayo sa Diyos, at maging sa aming mga Hudyo na malapít sa Diyos. 18Ngayon, tayong lahat ay makakalapit sa Ama sa pamamagitan ng iisang Espiritu dahil sa ginawa ni Kristo para sa atin.
19Kaya kayong mga Hentil ay hindi na mga dayuhan o taga-ibang bansa, kundi mga kababayan na ng mga hinirang#2:19 hinirang: Tingnan ang talababa sa 1:1. ng Diyos at kabilang sa kanyang sambahayan 20na itinayo sa pundasyong inilatag ng mga apostol at mga propeta, kung saan si Kristo Hesus ang batong panulok. 21Sa pamamagitan ni Kristo, ang lahat ng bahagi ng gusali ay nagkakaugnay-ugnay at nagiging isang banal na templo ng Panginoon. 22At dahil kayoʼy nakay Kristo, bahagi na rin kayo nitong gusaling itinatayo, kung saan nananahan ang Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Espiritu.

Ephesians 2
2
1 AND YOU [He made alive], when you were dead (slain) by [your] trespasses and sins
2 In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].
3 Among these we as well as you once lived and conducted ourselves in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by our corrupt and sensual nature], obeying the impulses of the flesh and the thoughts of the mind [our cravings dictated by our senses and our dark imaginings]. We were then by nature children of [God's] wrath and heirs of [His] indignation, like the rest of mankind.
4 But God–so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us,
5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation).
6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;
9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]
10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].
11 Therefore, remember that at one time you were Gentiles (heathens) in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by those who called themselves Circumcision, [itself a mere mark] in the flesh made by human hands.
12 [Remember] that you were at that time separated (living apart) from Christ [excluded from all part in Him], utterly estranged and outlawed from the rights of Israel as a nation, and strangers with no share in the sacred compacts of the [Messianic] promise [with no knowledge of or right in God's agreements, His covenants]. And you had no hope (no promise); you were in the world without God.
13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near.
14 For He is [Himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us,
15 By abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man [one new quality of humanity out of the two], so making peace.
16 And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and Gentile, united] in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end.
17 And He came and preached the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off and [peace] to those who were near. [Isa. 57:19.]
18 For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him].
19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household.
20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.
21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord].
22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
