[1] And dead in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course 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 all had our conversation in times past in the lusts flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and by nature the children of wrath, even as others. [4] But God, rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved [5] Even dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace 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 through Christ Jesus. [8] For by grace saved through faith; and not of it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, any man should boast. [10] For his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. [11] Wherefore remember, that 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 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 who sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. [14] For he peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [15] Having abolished in his flesh even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in 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 which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. [18] For through him both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
