Ephesians 2:8-22

8For ye areG1510 savedG4982 by graceG5485, through faithG4102; and this not of yourselvesG4771; it isG1510 1God's giftG1435: 9not on the principle of worksG2041, that no oneG5100 might boastG2744. 10For we areG1510 his workmanship, having beenG1510 created in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 for goodG18 worksG2041, which 2GodG2316 has before prepared that we should walkG4043 in them. 11Wherefore rememberG3421 that ye, once nationsG1484 in [the] fleshG4561, who [are] called uncircumcisionG203 by that called circumcisionG4061 in [the] fleshG4561 done with the hand; 12that ye wereG1510 at that timeG2540 without ChristG5547, aliens from the commonwealth of IsraelG2474, and strangersG3581 to the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, having no hopeG1680, and without 3God in the worldG2889: 13but nowG1161 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ye who onceG4218 wereG1510 afar off areG1510 becomeG1096 nigh by the bloodG129 of the ChristG5547. 14For he isG1510 our peaceG1515, who has madeG4160 both oneG1520, and has brokenG3089 down the middle wall of enclosure, 15having annulled the enmity in his fleshG4561, the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 in ordinances, that he might form the twoG1417 in himself into oneG1520 newG2537 manG444, makingG4160 peaceG1515; 16and might reconcileG604 both in oneG1520 bodyG4983 to 4GodG2316 by the crossG4716, having by it slain the enmity; 17and, comingG2064, he has preached the glad tidings of peaceG1515 to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peaceG1515 to those [who were] nigh. 18For through him we have both accessG4318 by oneG1520 SpiritG4151 to the FatherG3962. 19So then ye areG1510 no longer strangersG3581 and foreigners, but ye areG1510 fellow-citizens of the saintsG40, and of the householdG3609 of 5GodG2316, 20beingG1510 builtG2026 upon the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himself beingG1510 the corner-stone, 21in whom all [the] buildingG3619 fitted together increases to a holyG40 templeG3485 in the LordG2962; 22in whom ye alsoG2532 are built together for a habitation of 6GodG2316 in [the] SpiritG4151.
