49:002:003 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.
49:002:004 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his
great love wherewith he
loved
us,
49:002:005 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened
us together
with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
49:002:006 And hath raised us up together, and made
us sit together in
heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
49:002:007 That in the ages to come he might shew
the exceeding riches of
his
grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
49:002:008 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of
yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
49:002:009 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
49:002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good
works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk
in
them.
49:002:011 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;
49:002:012 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:
49:002:013 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made
nigh
by the blood of Christ.
49:002:014 For he is our peace, who hath made both
one, and hath broken
down
the middle wall of partition between us;
49:002:015 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;
49:002:016 And that he might reconcile both unto God
in one body by the
cross,
having slain the enmity thereby:
49:002:017 And came and preached peace to you which
were afar off, and to
them
that were nigh.
49:002:018 For through him we both have access by
one Spirit unto the
Father.
49:002:019 Now therefore ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but
fellowcitizens
with the saints, and of the household of God;
49:002:020 And are built upon the foundation of the
apostles and
prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
49:002:021 In whom all the building fitly framed together
groweth unto an
holy
temple in the Lord:
49:002:022 In whom ye also are builded together for
an habitation of God
through
the Spirit.
