2:1 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses
and sins:
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:
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.
2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us,
2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
2:6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit
together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
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.
2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
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.
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;
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:
2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off
are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
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;
2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off,
and to them that were nigh.
2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto
the Father.
2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of
God;
2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
unto an holy temple in the Lord:
2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation
of God through the Spirit.
