Ephesians 2:10–22

¹⁰For we are His workmanship, ^acreated in ^bChrist Jesus for ^cgood works, which God ^dprepared beforehand so that we would ^ewalk in them.

¹¹Therefore, remember that ^aformerly ^byou—the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “^cUncircumcision” by the so-called “^dCircumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

¹²remember that you were at that time without Christ, ^aalienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to ^bthe covenants of promise, having ^cno hope and ^dwithout God in the world.

¹³But now in ^aChrist Jesus you who ^bformerly were ^cfar off ¹have ^dbeen brought near ^eby the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For He Himself is ^aour peace, ^bwho made both groups one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition

¹⁵¹by ^aabolishing in His flesh the enmity, ^bthe Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might ^ccreate the two into ^done new man, making ^epeace,

¹⁶and might ^areconcile them both in ^bone body to God through the cross, having in Himself ^cput to death the enmity.

¹⁷And ^aHe came and preached ^bthe good news of peace to you who were ^cfar away, and peace to those who were ^dnear;

¹⁸for through Him we both have ^aour access in ^bone Spirit to ^cthe Father.

¹⁹So then you are no longer ^astrangers and sojourners, but you are ^bfellow citizens with the ¹saints, and are of ^cGod’s household,

²⁰having been ^abuilt on ^bthe foundation of ^cthe apostles and prophets, ^dChrist Jesus Himself being the ^ecorner stone,

^21ain whom the whole building, being joined together, is growing into ^ba holy ¹sanctuary in the Lord,

²²in whom you also are being ^abuilt together into a ^bdwelling of God in the Spirit.
