EPH-2:1  And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in

trespasses and sins:

EPH-2:2  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:

EPH-2:3  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.

EPH-2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love

wherewith he loved

us,

EPH-2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us

together with

Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

EPH-2:6  And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit

together in

heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:

EPH-2:7  That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding

riches of his

grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

EPH-2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not

of yourselves:

[it is] the gift of God:

EPH-2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

EPH-2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus

unto good works,

which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

EPH-2:11  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;

EPH-2:12  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:

EPH-2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off

are made nigh

by the blood of Christ.

EPH-2:14  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath

broken down the

middle wall of partition [between us];

EPH-2:15  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;

EPH-2:16  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body

by the cross,

having slain the enmity thereby:

EPH-2:17  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off,

 and to them

that were nigh.

EPH-2:18  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto

the Father.

EPH-2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,

but

fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

EPH-2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and

prophets, Jesus

Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];

EPH-2:21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth

unto an holy

temple in the Lord:

EPH-2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation

of God through

the Spirit.
