Ephesians 2
1. And you hath he quickened, who were * dead in trespasses and sins;
2. Wherein 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:
3. Among 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.
4. But God, who is * rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved * us,
5. Even when we were * dead in sins, hath quickened us together with * Christ, (by grace ye are * saved * ;)
6. And hath raised us up together * , and made us sit together * in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7. That in the ages to come * he might shew * the exceeding * riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8. For by grace are ye * saved * through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast * .
10. For we are * his workmanship,created * in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained * that we should walk * in them.
11. Wherefore 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;
12. That 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:
13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were * far off are made * nigh by the blood of Christ.
14. For he is * our peace, who hath made * both one, and hath broken down * the middle wall of partition between us;
15. Having 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;
16. And that he might reconcile * both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain * the enmity thereby:
17. And came * and preached * peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18. For through him we * both have * access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19. Now therefore ye are * no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20. And are built * upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being * the chief corner stone;
21. In whom all the building fitly framed together * groweth * unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22. In whom ye also are builded together * for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
