And you  1were  adeadg3498  2in your trespassesg3900 and sinsg266,

2

in whichg3739 you  aformerlyg4218 walkedg4043 accordingg2596 to the  1courseg165 of  bthisg3778 worldg2889, accordingg2596 to  cthe princeg758 of the powerg1849 of the airg109, of the spiritg4151 that is nowg3568 workingg1754 in  dthe sonsg5207 of disobedienceg543.

Amongg1722 them we toog2532 allg3956  aformerlyg4218 livedg390 in  bthe lustsg1939 of our fleshg4561,  1indulgingg4160 the desiresg2307 of the fleshg4561 and of the  2mindg1271, and were  cby natureg5449  dchildreng5043 of wrathg3709,  eeveng2532 as the restg3062.

But Godg2316, beingg1510  arichg4145 in mercyg1656, becauseg1223 of  bHis greatg4183 loveg26 with whichg3739 He lovedg25 us,

5

eveng2532 when we were  adeadg3498  1in our transgressionsg3900, madeg4806 us aliveg4806 togetherg4806  2with Christg5547bby graceg5485 you have beeng1510 savedg4982),

6

and  araisedg4891 us up with Him, and  bseatedg4776 us with Him in  cthe heavenlyg2032 places in  dChristg5547 Jesusg2424,

7

sog2443 that in the agesg165 to comeg1904 He might showg1731 the surpassingg5235  arichesg4149 of His graceg5485 in  bkindnessg5544 towardg1909 us in Christg5547 Jesusg2424.

8

For  aby graceg5485 you have been savedg4982  bthroughg1223 faithg4102; and  1that not of yourselvesg4771, it is  cthe giftg1435 of Godg2316;

9

 anot as a resultg1537 of worksg2041, sog2443 that  bnog3361 oneg5100 may boastg2744.

Thereforeg1352 rememberg3421 that  aformerlyg4218  byou, the Gentilesg1484 in the fleshg4561, who are calledg3004cUncircumcisiong203" by the so-calledg3004cCircumcisiong4061," which is performedg5499 in the fleshg4561 by humang5499 handsg5499--

12

remember that you were at that timeg2540 separateg5565 from Christg5547,  1 aexcludedg526 from the commonwealthg4174 of Israelg2474, and strangersg3581 to  bthe covenantsg1242 of promiseg1860, havingg2192  cnog3361 hopeg1680 and  dwithoutg112 Godg112 in the worldg2889.

13

But nowg3570 in  aChristg5547 Jesusg2424 you whog3739  bformerlyg4218 were  cfarg3112 offg3112  1have  cbeeng1096 broughtg1096 nearg1451  2 dby the bloodg129 of Christg5547.

14

For He Himselfg846 is  aour peaceg1515,  bwho madeg4160 bothg297 groups into oneg1520 and brokeg3089 downg3089 the  1barrierg5418 of the dividingg3320 wallg3320,

15

 1by  aabolishingg2673 in His fleshg4561 the enmityg2189b, which is  bthe Lawg3551 of commandmentsg1785 contained in ordinancesg1378, sog2443 that in Himselfg846 He might  2 cmakeg2936 the twog1417 into  doneg1520 newg2537 mang444, thus establishingg4160  epeaceg1515,

16

and might  areconcileg604 them bothg297 in  boneg1520 bodyg4983 to Godg2316 throughg1223 the crossg4716,  1by it having  cputg615 to deathg615 the enmityg2189b.

17

AND  aHE CAMEg2064 AND PREACHEDg2097  bPEACEg1515 TO YOU WHOg3588 WERE  cFARg3112 AWAYg3112, AND PEACEg1515 TO THOSEg3588 WHO WERE  cNEARg1451;
