1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
  trespasses and sins;
   2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
  course of this world, according to the prince of the
  power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
  children of disobedience:
   3 Among 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.
   4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
  wherewith he loved us,
   5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
  together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
   6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
  together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
   7 That in the ages to come he might shew the
  exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward
  us through Christ Jesus.
   8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
  not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
   9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
  10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
  Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained
  that we should walk in them.
  11 Wherefore remember, that ye 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;
  12 That at that time ye 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:
  13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far
  off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
  14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and
  hath broken down the middle wall of partition between
  us;
  15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the
  law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
  make in himself of twain one new man, so making
  peace;
  16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one
  body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
  17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar
  off, and to them that were nigh.
  18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit
  unto the Father.
  19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
  foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and
  of the household of God;
  20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles
  and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief
  corner stone;
  21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
  groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
  22 In whom ye also are builded together for an
  habitation of God through the Spirit.
