Ephesians Chapter 2 (Index)

001  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:

002  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:

003  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.

004  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

005  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

006  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

007  That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

008  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

009  Not of works, lest any man should boast.

010  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

011  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;

012  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:

013  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

014  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

015  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;

016  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

017  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

018  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

019  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

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

021  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

022  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
