¹and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins --

¹¶ Me koutou ano nana i whakaora, i te mea he tupapaku i nga he, i nga hara,

²in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:

²I haereerea ra e koutou i mua i runga i ta tenei ao tikanga, i ta te rangatira o te kaha o nga kapua, o te wairua e mahi nei inaianei i roto i nga tama a te tutu.

³among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

³Ara i era hoa o tatou katoa i mua, i a tatou e noho ana i runga i nga hiahia o to tatou kikokiko, e mahi ana i nga mea e paingia ana e te kikokiko, e te whakaaro, i te maoritanga hoki he tamariki na te riri, he pera me era atu.

⁴but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁴¶ Ko ta te Atua ia tenei, ranea rawa hoki tana mahi tohu, nui atu tona aroha i arohaina mai ai tatou e ia,

⁵(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

⁵I te mea he tupapaku tatou i nga he, whakaorangia ngatahitia ana tatou e ia me te Karaiti, he aroha noa i whakaorangia ai koutou;

⁶and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

⁶A whakaarahia ngatahitia ana e ia, whakanohoia ngatahitia ana ki nga wahi o te rangi i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:

⁷that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

⁷Kia whakakite ai e ia i nga wa e haere ake nei te hira o te taonga o tona aroha noa, i a ia ka manaaki i a tatou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

⁸For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

⁸Na te aroha noa hoki koutou i whakaorangia ai i runga i te whakapono; ehara ano hoki tenei i te mea no koutou: he mea homai noa na te Atua:

⁹not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

⁹Ehara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.

¹⁰He mahinga hoki tatou nana, he mea hanga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu mo nga mahi pai i whakaritea e te Atua i mua hei haereerenga mo tatou.

¹¹Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

¹¹¶ Na, kia mahara he tauiwi koutou i mua no te wahi ki te kikokiko, e kiia ana hoki ko te Kotingakore e tenei e kiia nei ko te Kotinga, ara to te kikokiko, he mea na te ringa;

¹²that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

¹²I taua wa he mea motu ke atu koutou i a te Karaiti, ehara i te tangata whenua no Iharaira, he tangata ke ki nga kawenata o te mea i whakaaria mai i mua, kahore he tumanakotanga atu, he hunga Atuakore i te ao.

¹³but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

¹³Na, inaianei i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, ko koutou, ko te hunga i tawhiti i mua, kua meinga e nga toto o te Karaiti kia tata.

¹⁴For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

¹⁴¶ Ko ia hoki to tatou maunga rongo, nana i mea nga mea e rua kia kotahi, whakahoroa iho e ia te patu e arai ana i waenga;

¹⁵having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

¹⁵Whakakahoretia ana hoki e ia ki tona kikokiko te mauahara, ara te ture i nga kupu ako, i nga tikanga; kia hanga ai i roto i a ia te tokorua hei tangata kotahi, hei tangata hou, kia mau ai te rongo i a ia;

¹⁶and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;

¹⁶Kia houhia ai ano hoki e ia te rongo a te tokorua ki te Atua i roto i te tinana kotahi, he meatanga na te ripeka, ma reira hoki e whakamate te mauahara;

¹⁷and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.

¹⁷A haere mai ana ia, kauwhau ana i te maunga rongo ki a koutou i tawhiti, ki te hunga hoki e tata ana.

¹⁸For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁸Nana hoki tatou, te tokorua nei, i whai tatanga atu ai i roto i te Wairua kotahi ki te Matua.

¹⁹So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

¹⁹Na reira ehara koutou i te tangata ke, i te manene ranei; engari he tangata whenua koutou tahi ko te hunga tapu, no te whare hoki o te Atua;

²⁰being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

²⁰He mea hanga ki runga ki te turanga o nga apotoro ratou ko nga poropiti, ko Ihu Karaiti ano hei tino kamaka mo te kokonga;

²¹in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

²¹Kei roto nei i a ia tena whare, tena whare, he mea ata tatai marie, ka tupu hei whare tapu i roto i te Ariki;

²²in whom *ye* also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.

²²Me koutou ano e hanga tahitia ana i roto i a ia, hei nohoanga mo te Atua, he mea na te Wairua.
