Paul's LettersNew Testament
Chapter 2· Book X of 27
1Verse 1. Open verse actions.You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, 2Verse 2. Open verse actions.in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; 3Verse 3. Open verse actions.among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4Verse 4. Open verse actions.But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 5Verse 5. Open verse actions.even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6Verse 6. Open verse actions.and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7Verse 7. Open verse actions.that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; 8Verse 8. Open verse actions.for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9Verse 9. Open verse actions.not of works, that no one would boast. 10Verse 10. Open verse actions.For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. 11Verse 11. Open verse actions.Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision”, (in the flesh, made by hands); 12Verse 12. Open verse actions.that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13Verse 13. Open verse actions.But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. 14Verse 14. Open verse actions.For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition, 15Verse 15. Open verse actions.having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace; 16Verse 16. Open verse actions.and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby. 17Verse 17. Open verse actions.He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. 18Verse 18. Open verse actions.For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19Verse 19. Open verse actions.So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, 20Verse 20. Open verse actions.being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; 21Verse 21. Open verse actions.in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22Verse 22. Open verse actions.in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
