Ephesians 2

¹and you also [he raised up], who were dead through your trespasses and sins,

²in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

³among whom even we all had our way of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others;

⁴but God, who is rich in mercy, on account of his great love wherewith he loved us, gave to us,

⁵even when dead through our trespasses, life with Christ,—by grace have ye been saved,—

⁶and raised us up with him, and caused us to sit with him in the heavenly regions in Christ Jesus,

⁷that he might show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁸For by grace ye have been saved, through faith; and this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;

⁹not of works, lest any one should boast.

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

¹¹Wherefore remember, that in time past ye, the gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised, having the circumcision of the flesh, performed by hand,—

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

¹³but now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were afar off, have been brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For it is he who is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition between us, that is, the enmity;

¹⁵having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create of the two one new man in himself, thus making peace,

¹⁶and might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain on it the enmity.

¹⁷And he came and brought the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off, and of peace to those that were near;

¹⁸for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow-citizens with the saints, and members of the household of God,

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

²¹in whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord;

²²in whom ye also are built together into a dwelling-place 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.
