001:018 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people, 001:019 and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might 001:020 when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms, 001:021 high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come. 001:022 God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body, 001:023 the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself. 002:001 To you Gentiles also, who were dead through your offences and sins, 002:002 which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life. 002:003 Among them all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others. 002:004 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us, 002:005 caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved-- 002:006 raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus, 002:007 in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. 002:008 For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit-- 002:009 so that it may be impossible for any one to boast. 002:010 For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise. 002:011 Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected. 002:012 At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all the world. 002:013 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.
