Chapter 2
And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and
sins, wherein ye once walked according to the ^2 course of this world,
according to the prince of the ^3 powers of the air, of the spirit that now
worketh in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the
lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the ^4 mind, and
were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: - but God, being rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead
through our trespasses, made us alive together ^5 with Christ ( by grace have
ye been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the
heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show the
exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: for by
grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory. For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared
that we should walk in them.
[Footnote 2: Gr. age.]
[Footnote 3: Gr. power.]
[Footnote 4: Gr. thoughts.]
[Footnote 5: Some ancient authorities read in Christ.]
Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are
called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made
by hands; that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise,
having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus ye that
once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace,
who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making
peace; and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby: and he came and ^6 preached peace to you that
were far off, and peace to them that were nigh: for through him we both have
our access in one Spirit unto the Father. So then ye are no more strangers
and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the
household of God, being built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; in whom ^7 each
several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy ^8 temple in the
Lord; in whom ye also are builded together ^9 for a habitation of God in the
Spirit.
