Ephesians 2:10–22

¹⁰For ^fwe are his workmanship, ^gcreated in Christ Jesus ^hfor good works, ⁱwhich God prepared beforehand, ^jthat we should walk in them.

One in Christ

¹¹Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^kthe circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— ¹²remember ^lthat you were at that time separated from Christ, ^malienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ⁿthe covenants of promise, ^ohaving no hope and without God in the world. ¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^pfar off have been brought near ^qby the blood of Christ. ¹⁴For ^rhe himself is our peace, ^swho has made us both one and has broken down ^tin his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^uordinances, that he might create in himself one ^vnew man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶and might ^wreconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷And he came and ^xpreached peace to you who were ^yfar off and peace to those who were ^znear. ¹⁸For ^athrough him we both have ^baccess in ^cone Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹So then you are no longer ^dstrangers and aliens,⁴ but you are ^efellow citizens with the saints and ^fmembers of the household of God, ^20gbuilt on the foundation of the ^hapostles and prophets, ⁱChrist Jesus himself being ^jthe cornerstone, ^21kin whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^la holy temple in the Lord. ²²In him ^myou also are being built together ⁿinto a dwelling place for God by⁵ the Spirit.
