Ephesians 2:8-22
8for by graceG5485 have ye beenG1510 savedG4982 through faithG4102; and that not of yourselvesG4771, it isG1510 the giftG1435 of GodG2316; 9not of worksG2041, that no man should glory. 10For we areG1510 his workmanship, created in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 for goodG18 worksG2041, which GodG2316 afore prepared that we should walkG4043 in them.
11Wherefore rememberG3421, that onceG4218 ye, the GentilesG1484 in the fleshG4561, who are called UncircumcisionG203 by that which is called CircumcisionG4061, in the fleshG4561, made by handsG5499; 12that ye wereG1510 at that timeG2540 separate from ChristG5547, alienated from the commonwealth of IsraelG2474, and strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of the promiseG1860, having no hopeG1680 and without God in the worldG2889. 13But nowG1161 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ye that onceG4218 wereG1510 farG3112 off areG1510 made nigh in the bloodG129 of ChristG5547. 14For he isG1510 our peaceG1515, who madeG4160 both oneG1520, and brake down the middle wall of partition, 15having abolishedG2673 in his fleshG4561 the enmity, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twoG1417 oneG1520 newG2537 manG444, soG2443 makingG4160 peaceG1515; 16and might reconcileG604 them both in oneG1520 bodyG4983 unto GodG2316 through the crossG4716, having slain the enmity thereby: 17and he cameG2064 and preached peaceG1515 to you that were farG3112 off, and peaceG1515 to them that were nigh: 18for through him we both have our accessG4318 in oneG1520 SpiritG4151 unto the FatherG3962. 19So then ye areG1510 no more strangersG3581 and sojourners, but ye areG1510 fellow-citizens with the saintsG40, and of the householdG3609 of GodG2316, 20beingG1510 builtG2026 upon the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, ChristG5547 JesusG2424 himself beingG1510 the chief corner stone; 21in whom each several buildingG3619, fitly framed together, groweth into a holyG40 templeG3485 in the LordG2962; 22in whom ye alsoG2532 are builded together for a habitation of GodG2316 in the SpiritG4151.
