Ephesians 2:8-13

8For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is 1God's gift:

9not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

10For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which 2God has before prepared that we should walk in them.

11Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

12that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without 3God in the world:

13but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
