| 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 . |
