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