¶ And you¹ hath he quickened, who were dead² in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time³ past ye walked according⁴ to the course of this world, according to the prince⁵ of the power of the air⁶, the spirit⁷ that now worketh in the children⁸ of disobedience:

Among whom also we⁹ all had our conversation in times¹⁰ past in the¹¹ lusts of our flesh, fulfilling¹² the desires¹³ of the flesh and of the mind; and were by¹⁴ nature the children¹⁵ of wrath, even¹⁶ as others.

¶ But God, who¹⁷ is rich in mercy, for his¹⁸ great love wherewith he loved us,

Even when we were dead¹⁹ in sins, hath quickened²⁰ us together with Christ, (by grace ye²¹ are saved;)

And hath²² raised us up together, and made us sit²³ together in²⁴ heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

That in the²⁵ ages to come he might shew²⁶ the exceeding riches of his grace in his²⁷ kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by²⁸ grace are ye saved through²⁹ faith; and that³⁰ not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

³¹Not of works, lest any man should boast.

¶ For we are³² his workmanship, created³³ in Christ Jesus unto good³⁴ works, which³⁵ God hath before ordained³⁶ that we should walk in them.

¶ Wherefore remember³⁷, that ye being in time past Gentiles³⁸ in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision³⁹ by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made⁴⁰ by hands;

That at that time ye were without⁴¹ Christ, being aliens⁴² from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants⁴³ of promise, having⁴⁴ no hope, and without⁴⁵ God in the world:

But now in⁴⁶ Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were⁴⁷ far off are⁴⁸ made nigh by the blood of Christ.

¶ For he is our⁴⁹ peace, who hath made both⁵⁰ one, and hath broken down the middle⁵¹ wall of partition between us;

Having abolished in his⁵² flesh the enmity, even the law⁵³ of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one⁵⁴ new man, so making peace;

And that he might reconcile⁵⁵ both unto God in one body by the cross, having⁵⁶ slain the enmity thereby⁵⁷:

And came and preached⁵⁸ peace to you which were afar off, and to them that⁵⁹ were nigh.

For through⁶⁰ him we both have access by⁶¹ one Spirit unto the⁶² Father.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers⁶³ and foreigners, but⁶⁴ fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household⁶⁵ of God;

¶ And are built⁶⁶ upon the foundation⁶⁷ of the apostles and prophets, Jesus⁶⁸ Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

In whom all⁶⁹ the building fitly⁷⁰ framed together groweth unto an⁷¹ holy temple in the Lord:

In whom ye also are builded together for an⁷² habitation of God through the Spirit.
