- As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
- in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
- All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
- But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
- made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved.
|
- And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
- in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
- Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
- But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
- even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
|
- And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
- in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
- For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
- not by works, so that no one can boast.
- For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
|
- and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
- so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
- For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
- not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
- For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
|
- Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)--
- remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
- But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
- For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
- by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
|
- Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--
- remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
- But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
- For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
- by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
|
- and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
- He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
- For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
- Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,
- built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
|
- and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
- AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;
- for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
- So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household,
- having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
|
- In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
- And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
|
- in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,
- in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
