1AndG2532 youG4771 hath he quickened, who wereG1510 deadG3498 in trespassesG3588G3900 andG2532 sinsG3588G266; 2WhereinG3739 inG1722 time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG3588G165 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889, according toG2596 the princeG3588G758 of the powerG3588G1849 of the airG3588G109, the spiritG3588G4151 thatG3588 nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG3588G5207 of disobedienceG3588G543: 3AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG1473 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG3588G1939 of ourG1473 fleshG3588G4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG3588G2307 of the fleshG3588G4561 andG2532 of the mindG3588G1271; andG2532 wereG1510 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. 4
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG1510 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG1473, 5EvenG2532 whenG1510 weG1473 wereG1510 deadG3498 in sinsG3588G3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG3588G5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG1510 savedG4982;) 6AndG2532 hath raisedG4891 us up togetherG4891, andG2532 madeG4776 us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 7ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG3588G165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG3588G5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG1473 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 8
ForG1063 by graceG5485 areG1510 ye savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG3588G4102; andG2532 thatG3778 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG4771: it is the giftG3588G1435 of GodG2316: 9NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3361 any manG5100 should boastG2744. 10ForG1063 we areG1510 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG3588G2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846.
11WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG4771 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG3588G1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, who areG3588 calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that which isG3588 calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499; 12ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG3588G2540 ye wereG1510 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG3588G4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG3588G1242 of promiseG3588G1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG3588G2889: 13ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG4771 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG1510 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG3588G129 of ChristG3588G5547. 14ForG1063 heG846 isG1510 ourG1473 peaceG3588G1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3588G3320 of partitionG3588G5418 between us; 15Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG3588G4561 the enmityG3588G2189, even the lawG3588G3551 of commandmentsG3588G1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; forG1519 toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515; 16AndG2532 that heG846 might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG3588G2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG3588G4716, having slainG615 the enmityG3588G2189 therebyG1722: 17AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG4771 which wereG3588 afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that wereG3588 nighG1451. 18ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG3588G4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3588G3962. 19
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG1510 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG3588G2316; 20And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG3588G2310 of the apostlesG3588G652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG1510 the chief cornerG204 stone; 21InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3588G3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962: 22InG1722 whomG3739 yeG4771 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG3588G2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.
