7That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.Affin di mostrare a' secoli susseguenti le abbondanti ricchezze della sua grazia per mezzo della benignità sua sopra di noi per Cristo Gesù.that he might shevv in the vvorldes succeding, the aboundant riches of his grace, in bountie vpon vs in Christ IESVS.ut ostenderet in sæculis supervenientibus abundantes divitias gratiæ suæ, in bonitate super nos in Christo Jesu. 8For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.Imperocché per grazia siete stati salvati mediante la fede, e questo non (vien) da voi: imperocché è dono di Dio;For by grace you are saued through faith (and that not of your selues, for it is the gift of God)Gratia enim estis salvati per fidem, et hoc non ex vobis: Dei enim donum est: 9Not of works, that no man may glory.Non in virtù delle opere, affinchè nissuno si glorj.not of vvorkes, that no man glorienon ex operibus, ut ne quis glorietur. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.Imperocché di lui siamo fattura, creati in Cristo Gesù per le buone opere preparate da Dio, affinché in esse camminiamo.For vve are his vvorke, created in Christ IESVS in good vvorkes, vvhich God hath prepared that vve should vvalke in them.Ipsius enim sumus factura, creati in Christo Jesu in operibus bonis, quæ præparavit Deus ut in illis ambulemus. 11For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands:Per la qual cosa abbiate a memoria, che voi una volta Gentili di origine, che eravate detti incirconcisi da quegli, che circoncisi s'appellano secondo la carne per la manofatta circoncisione,For the vvhich cause be mindeful that sometime you vvere Gentils in the flesh, vvho vvere called prepuce, of that vvhich is called circumcision in the flesh, made vvith hand:Propter quod memores estote quod aliquando vos gentes in carne, qui dicimini præputium ab ea quæ dicitur circumcisio in carne, manu facta: 12That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise and without God in this world.Eravate in quel tempo senza Cristo, alieni dalla società di Israele, stranieri rispetto ai testamenti, senza speranza di promessa, e senza Dio in questo mondo.vvho vvere at that time vvithout Christ, alienated from the conuersation of Israël, and strangers of the testaments, hauing no hope of the promis, and vvithout God in this vvorld.quia eratis illo in tempore sine Christo, alienati a conversatione Israël, et hospites testamentorum, promissionis spem non habentes, et sine Deo in hoc mundo.

13But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.Ma adesso in Cristo Gesù voi, che eravate una volta lontani, siete diventati vicini mercé del sangue di Cristo.But novv in Christ IESVS, you that sometime vvere farre of, are made nigh in the bloud of Christ.Nunc autem in Christo Jesu, vos, qui aliquando eratis longe, facti estis prope in sanguine Christi. 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:Imperocché egli è nostra pace, egli, che delle due cose ne ha fatta una sola, annullando la parete intermedia di separazione, le nimistà, per mezzo della sua carne:For he is our peace, vvho hath made both one, and dissoluing the middle vvall of the partition, the enmities in his flesh:Ipse enim est pax nostra, qui fecit utraque unum, et medium parietem maceriæ solvens, inimicitias in carne sua, 15Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace.Abolendo co' suoi precetti la legge dei riti, per formare in se stesso dei due un solo uomo nuovo, facendo pace,euacuating the lavv of cōmaundements in decrees: that he may create the tvvo in him self into one new man, making peace,legem mandatorum decretis evacuans, ut duos condat in semetipso in unum novum hominem, faciens pacem: 16And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.Per riconciliargli ambedue in un sol corpo con Dio per mezzo della croce, distruggendo in se stesso le nimistà.and may reconcile both in one body to God by the crosse, killing the enmities in him self.et reconciliet ambos in uno corpore, Deo per crucem, interficiens inimicitias in semetipso. 17And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh.È venne ad evangelizzare la pace a voi, che eravate lontani, e pace a' vicini:And comming he euangelized peace to you that vvere farre of, and peace to them that vvere nigh.Et veniens evangelizavit pacem vobis, qui longe fuistis, et pacem iis, qui prope. 18For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.Conciossiaché per lui abbiamo e gli uni, e gli altri accesso al Padre mediante un medesimo Spirito.For by him vve haue accesse both in one Spirit to the Father.Quoniam per ipsum habemus accessum ambo in uno Spiritu ad Patrem. 19Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God,Voi non siete adunque più ospiti, e peregrini, ma siete concittadini de' santi, e siete della famiglia di Dio:Novv then you are not strangers and forreiners: but you are citizens of the sainctes, and the domesticals of God,Ergo jam non estis hospites, et advenæ: sed estis cives sanctorum, et domestici Dei, 20Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:Edificati sopra il fondamento degli Apostoli, e de' profeti, pietra maestra angolare essendo lo stesso Cristo Gesù.built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, IESVS Christ him self being the highest corner stone:superædificati super fundamentum apostolorum, et prophetarum, ipso summo angulari lapide Christo Jesu:

21In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.Sopra di cui l'edificio tutto insieme connesso si innalza in tempio santo del Signore:in vvhom al building framed together, grovveth into an holy temple in our Lord,in quo omnis ædificatio constructa crescit in templum sanctum in Domino, 22In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.Sopra di cui voi pare siete insieme edificati in abitacolo di Dio mediante lo Spirito.in vvhom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the holy Ghost.in quo et vos coædificamini in habitaculum Dei in Spiritu.
