Ephesians 2

¹And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,

²Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience,

³Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.

⁴But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

⁵Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,

⁶And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,

⁷That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus.

⁸For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,

⁹Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.

¹⁰For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.

¹¹Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,

¹²That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.

¹³But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,

¹⁵In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,

¹⁶And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,

¹⁷And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.

¹⁸For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.

¹⁹Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

²⁰And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,

²¹In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.

²²In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by 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.
