1And when ye were dead in your guilts and sins,

2in which ye wandered sometime, after the course of this world, after the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that worketh now into the sons of unbelief;

3in which also we all lived sometime in the desires of our flesh, doing the wills of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by kind the sons of wrath, as other men;

4but God, that is rich in mercy, for his full much charity in which he loved us,

5yea, when we were dead in sins, quickened us together in Christ, by whose grace ye be saved,

6and again-raised together, and made together to sit in heavenly things in Christ Jesus;

7that he should show in the worlds above coming the plenteous riches of his grace in goodness on us in Christ Jesus.

8For by grace ye be saved by faith, and this not of you; for it is the gift of God,

9not of works, that no man have glory.

10For we be the making of him, made of nought in Christ Jesus, in good works, which God hath ordained, that we go in those works.

11For which thing be ye mindful that sometime ye were heathen in flesh, which were said prepuce, from that that is said circumcision made by hand in flesh;

12and ye were in that time without Christ, alienated [or strangers] from the living of Israel, and guests of the testaments, not having hope of promise, and without God in this world.

13But now in Christ Jesus ye that were sometime far, be made nigh in the blood of Christ.

14For he is our peace, that made both one, and unbinding the middle wall of a wall without mortar,

15enmities in his flesh; and voided the law of commandments by dooms, that he make two in himself into a new man, making peace,

16to reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, slaying the enmities in himself.

17And he coming preached peace to you that were far, and peace to them that were nigh;

18for by him we both have nigh coming in one Spirit to the Father.

19Therefore now ye be not guests and strangers, but ye be citizens of saints, and [the] household meine of God;

20above builded on the founda-ment of apostles and of prophets, upon that highest cornerstone, Christ Jesus;

21in whom each building made waxeth into an holy temple in the Lord.

22In whom also ye be builded together into the habitation of God, in the Holy Ghost.
