[KJV] chapters
[1][3],[4],[5],[6]
Ephesians 2
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the
power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in
times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the
desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by
nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the
exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward
us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past
Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision
by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh
made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being
aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and
without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far
off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and
hath broken down the middle wall of partition between
us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the
law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
make in himself of twain one new man, so making
peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one
body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar
off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit
unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and
of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief
corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
