Ephesians 2

¹And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins,

²Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief:

³In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:

⁴But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ (by whose grace you are saved)

⁶And hath raised us up together and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.

⁷That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.

⁸For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God.

⁹Not of works, that no man may glory.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.

¹¹For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles is the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands:

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.

¹³But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:

¹⁵Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace

¹⁶And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.

¹⁷And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh.

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

¹⁹Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God,

²⁰Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

²¹In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

²²In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2

¹And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

²Wherein 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:

³Among 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.

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹¹Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

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

¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

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

¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
