1 Ele vos deu a vida quando estáveis mortos pelos vossos delitos e pecados,

2 nos quais noutro tempo andastes conforme o curso deste mundo, segundo o chefe das potestades do ar, do espírito que agora opera nos filhos da desobediência;

3 entre os quais todos nós também outrora andávamos nas cobiças da nossa carne, fazendo as vontades da carne e dos pensamentos, e éramos por natureza filhos da ira, como também os demais.

4 Mas Deus, sendo rico em misericórdia pela sua grande caridade com que nos amou,

5 mesmo quando estávamos mortos pelos nossos delitos, nos deu vida juntamente com Cristo (pela graça sois salvos),

1 And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,

2 In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

3 Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

4 But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

5 Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),
