1And hath quickened you also that were dead in trespass and sin, 2in the which in time passed ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor, that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief, 3among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as other. 4But God which is rich in mercy thorow his great love wherewith he loved us, 5even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us with Christ (For by grace are ye saved) 6and with him hath raised us up, and with him hath made us sit in heavenly things, thorow Iesus Christ, 7For to shew in times to come the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to usward, thorow Christ Iesus. 8For by grace are ye made safe throwe faith, and that not of your selves: For it is the gift of God, 9and cometh not of works, lest any man should boast himself. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Iesu unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

11Wherefore remember that ye being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called uncircumcision of them which are called circumcision in the flesh, which circumcision is made by hands: 12Remember I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the common wealth of Israhel, and were fremed from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world. 13But now in Christ Iesu, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nye by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken down the wall in the midst, that was a stop between us, 15and hath also put away thorow his flesh, the cause of hatred (that is to say, the law of commandments contained in the law written,) for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace: 16and to reconcile both unto God in one body throwe his cross, and slew hatred thereby: 17and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nye. 18For thorow him we both have an open way in, in one spirit unto the father. 19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God: 20and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Iesus Christ being the head cornerstone, 21in whom every building coupled together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord, 22in whom ye also are built together, and made an habitation for God in the spirit.
