1And you, _although you were dead_ in your trespasses and sins,
2in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
3among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and we were children of wrath by nature, as also the rest of [them] were.
4But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love [with] which he loved us,
5and we being dead in trespasses, he made [us] alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),
6and raised [us] together and seated [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,
7in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.
8For by grace you are saved through faith, and this [is] not from yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;
9[it is] not from works, so that no one can boast.
10For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.
11Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the so-called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in [the] flesh, made by hands,
12that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world.
13But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.
14For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh,
15invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, [thus] making peace,
16and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.
17And coming, he proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to the ones who were near,
18because through him [we] both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19Consequently, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God,
20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21in whom the whole building, joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in [the] Spirit.
