KJV Easy Read Bible

By Grace Through Faith

1And youp has He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;   made alive

2Wherein in time past youp walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:   Satan

3Among 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.   manner of life

4But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us,   with which

5Even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace youp are saved;)   made us alive

6And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8For by grace are youp saved through faith; and that not of yourselvesp: it is the gift of God:   ROM 8:28–30; ACTS 16:31

9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.   PS 100:3 | planned

Brought Near by His Blood

11Wherefore remember, that youp 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;

12That at that time youp 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:   agreements

13But now in Christ Jesus youp who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14For He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us;   separation

15Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of two one new man, so making peace;

16And that He might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17And came and preached peace to youp which were afar off, and to them that were near.

18For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Christ Our Cornerstone

19Now therefore youp are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;   ISA 57:19 | those devoted to God, believers

20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone;

21In whom all the building fitly framed together grows to a holy temple in the Lord:

22In whom youp also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.   dwelling
