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