and every name that is named, not only in this age,
but also in that which is to come.
001:022 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him
to be head over all things for the assembly,
001:023 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
002:001 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
002:002 in which you once walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit
who now works in the children of disobedience;
002:003 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh,
doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were
by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
002:004 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which
he loved us,
002:005 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
002:006 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
002:007 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches
of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
002:008 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not
of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
002:009 not of works, that no one would boast.
002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
002:011 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are
called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision,"
(in the flesh, made by hands);
002:012 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from
the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
002:013 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made
near in the blood of Christ.
002:014 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle
wall of partition,
002:015 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of
commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create
in himself one new man of the two, making peace;
002:016 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross,
having killed the hostility thereby.
002:017 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to
those who were near.
002:018 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit
to the Father.
002:019 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are
fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
002:020 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
002:021 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy
temple in the Lord;
