Ephesians: Chapter 2 (asv)

Ephesians 2
- 1 And youdid he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,
- 2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
- 3 among whom we also all once lived 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, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
- 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
- 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:
- 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 have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
- 9 not of works, that no man should glory.
- 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
- 11 Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
- 12 that ye 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 Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
- 14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
- 15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;
- 16 and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
- 17 and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
- 18 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
- 19 So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
- 20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
- 21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
- 22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
