Ephesians 2–3

2^aAnd you ^bhath he quickened, ^bwho were dead in trespasses and sins; ²Wherein ^cin time past ^ccye walked according to the ^dcourse of ^ethis world, according to ^fthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in ^gthe children of disobedience: ³Among whom also we all had our conversation ^cin times past in ^hthe lusts of our flesh, fulfilling ^†the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and ⁱwere ^jby nature ^jjthe children of wrath, even as others. ⁴But God, who is ^krich in mercy, for ^lhis great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵Even ^abmwhen we were dead in sins, hath ⁿquickened us together with Christ, ^||(by grace ye are saved;) ⁶And hath raised us up together, and made us ^osit together ^pin heavenly places in Christ Jesus: ⁷That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding ^kriches of his grace in ^qhis kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. ⁸For ^rby grace are ye saved ^sthrough faith; and that not of yourselves: ^tit is the gift of God: ^9uNot of works, ^wlest any man should boast. ¹⁰For we are ^xhis workmanship, ^ycreated in Christ Jesus unto ^zgood works, ^awhich God hath before ^||ordained ^aathat we should walk in them.

¹¹Wherefore remember, ^bthat ye being in ^ctime past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called ^dthe Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; ¹²That at that time ye were without Christ, ^ebeing aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and ^fstrangers from ^gthe covenants of promise, ^hhaving no hope, and without God in the world: ¹³But now in Christ Jesus ⁱye who ^csometimes were ^jfar off are made nigh ^kby the blood of Christ. ¹⁴For ^lhe is our peace, ^mwho hath made both one, and hath ⁿbroken down the middle wall of partition between us; ^15oHaving abolished ^pin his flesh ^ppthe enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ^oqordinances; for to make in himself of twain one ^rnew man, so ^lmaking peace; ¹⁶And that he might ^sreconcile both unto God in ^ssone body by the cross, ^othaving slain ^pthe enmity ^||uthereby: ¹⁷And came and ^wpreached peace to you which were ^jafar off, and to ^xthem that were nigh. ¹⁸For ^ythrough him we both ^zhave access ^aby one Spirit unto the Father. ¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more ^bcstrangers and ^cdforeigners, but ^efellowcitizens with the saints, and ^fof the household of God; ²⁰And are ^gbuilt upon the foundation of the ^hiapostles and ⁱprophets, ^kJesus Christ himself being ^lthe chief corner stone; ²¹In whom all the building ^mfitly framed together groweth unto ⁿan holy temple in the Lord: ²²In whom ^oye also are builded together ^pfor an habitation of God through the Spirit.

3For this cause I Paul, ^athe prisoner of Jesus Christ ^bfor you ^cGentiles, ²If ye have heard of ^dthe dispensation ^eof the grace of God which is given me ^cto you-ward: ^3fHow that ^gby revelation ^hhe made known unto me the mystery; ⁱ(as I wrote ^||afore in few words, ⁴Whereby, when ye read, ^kye may understand my knowledge in ^lthe mystery of Christ) ^5hWhich in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy ^mapostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶That the Gentiles should be ⁿfellowheirs, and ^oof the same body, and ^ppartakers ⁿof his promise in Christ by the gospel: ^7qWhereof I was made ^ra minister, according to the gift of ^ethe grace of God given unto me ^sby the effectual working of his power. ⁸Unto me, ^twho am less than the least of all saints, ^eis this grace given, that I should preach ^camong the Gentiles the ^uunsearchable ^wriches of Christ; ⁹And ^hto make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, ^hwhich from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, ^xwho created all things by Jesus Christ: ¹⁰To the intent that ^ynow unto ^zthe principalities and powers ^ain heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold ^bwisdom of God, ^11cAccording to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: ¹²In whom we have ^dboldness and ^eaccess with ^fconfidence by ^gthe faith of him. ¹³Wherefore I desire that ye ^hfaint not ⁱat my tribulations ^kfor you, ^lwhich is your glory. ^14mFor this cause ⁿI bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵Of whom ^othe whole family ^pin heaven and earth ^qis named, ¹⁶That he would grant you, according to ^rthe riches of his glory, ^sto be strengthened with might by his Spirit in ^tthe inner man; ^17uThat Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, ^wbeing rooted and ^xgrounded in love, ¹⁸May be able to ^ycomprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and ^zdepth, and height; ¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, ^awhich passeth knowledge, that ^bye might be filled with all ^cthe fulness of God. ^20dNow unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, ^eaccording to the power that worketh in us, ^21fUnto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus ^gthroughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
