1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

1 你们因着自己的过犯和罪恶， 原是死的。

2 那时你们在过犯和罪恶中行事为人， 随着时代的潮流， 也服从空中掌权的首领， 就是现今在悖逆的人身上运行的灵。

3 我们从前也都和他们在一起， 放纵肉体的私欲， 随着肉体和心意所喜好的去行； 我们与别人一样， 生来都是可怒的儿女。

4 然而 神满有怜悯， 因着他爱我们的大爱，

5 就在我们因过犯死了的时候， 使我们与基督一同活过来， （你们得救是靠着恩典， ）

6 又使我们在基督耶稣里， 与他一同复活， 一同坐在天上，

7 为的是要在将来的世代中， 显明他在基督耶稣里赐给我们的恩典， 是多么的丰盛。

8 你们得救是靠着恩典， 借着信心。这不是出于自己， 而是 神所赐的；

9 这也不是出于行为， 免得有人自夸。
