By Grace Through Faith
1And ⚓you Hemadealive,⚓who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2⚓in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to ⚓the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in ⚓the sons of disobedience, 3⚓among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in ⚓the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and ⚓were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4But God, ⚓who is rich in mercy, because of His ⚓great love with which He loved us, 5⚓even when we were dead in trespasses, ⚓made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6and raised us up together, and made us sit together ⚓in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in ⚓His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8⚓For by grace you have been saved ⚓through faith, and that not of yourselves; ⚓itis the gift of God, 9not of ⚓works, lest anyone should ⚓boast. 10For we are ⚓His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Brought Near by His Blood
11Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called ⚓the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12that at that time you 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. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
14For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15having abolished in His flesh the enmity, thatis, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one ⚓new man from the two, thus making peace, 16and that He might ⚓reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby ⚓putting to death the enmity. 17And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18For ⚓through Him we both have access ⚓by one Spirit to the Father.
Christ Our Cornerstone
19Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20having been ⚓built ⚓on the foundation of the ⚓apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being ⚓the chief cornerstone,21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into ⚓a holy temple in the Lord, 22⚓in whom you also are being built together for a ⚓dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
