Ephesians 2:14–3:13

¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:

¹⁵Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace

¹⁶And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.

¹⁷And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh.

¹⁸For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners: but you are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God,

²⁰Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:

²¹In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

²²In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

Chapter 3

For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles:

²If yet you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me towards you:

³How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words:

⁴As you reading, may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ,

⁵Which in other generations was not known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit:

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel

⁷Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power.

⁸To me, the least of all the saints, is given this grace, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ:

⁹And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things:

¹⁰That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church,

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹³Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
