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.
