Ephesians 2:11 — Ephesians 3:18
11 Therefore remember that once you, the aGentiles in the flesh, those who are called 1buncircumcision by that which is called ccircumcision in the flesh made by hands,
12 That you were at that time 1apart from Christ, aalienated from the 2commonwealth of bIsrael, and strangers to the 3ccovenants of the promise, having 4dno hope and 5without God in the 6world.
13 1But now in Christ Jesus you who were once 2afar off have become 3near in the 4bblood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is 1our 2apeace, He who has made 3both bone and has broken down the middle 4wall of partition, the 5enmity,
15 1aAbolishing in His 2flesh the 3law of the commandments in 4ordinances, that He might 5create the two 6in Himself 7into 8one bnew man, so 9cmaking peace,
16 And might areconcile 1both in 2bone Body to 3God through the 4cross, having 5slain the enmity 6by it.
17 And 1coming, He aannounced peace as the bgospel to you who were 2cfar off, and peace to those who were 3dnear,
18 For 1through Him we both have 2aaccess 3in bone Spirit unto the 4cFather.
19 So then 1you are no longer 2astrangers and sojourners, but you are 3bfellow citizens with the saints and 4members of the chousehold of God,
20 Being 1abuilt upon the 2bfoundation of the capostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the 3dcornerstone;
21 In 1whom 2all the building, being 3afitted together, is 4bgrowing into a holy 5ctemple 6in the Lord;
22 In whom 1you 2also are being built together into a 3adwelling place of God bin 4spirit.
CHAPTER 3
1 1For this cause I Paul, the 2aprisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you, the Gentiles —
2 1If indeed you have heard of the 2astewardship of the 3bgrace of God which was given to me for you,
3 That by 1arevelation the bmystery was cmade known to me, as I have dwritten previously in brief,
4 By which, in reading it, you can perceive my understanding in the 1amystery of Christ,
5 Which in other generations was 1anot made known to the sons of men, as it has now been brevealed to His holy 2capostles and 2prophets in 3spirit,
6 That in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are 1afellow heirs and 2bfellow members of the Body and 3cfellow partakers of the dpromise through the gospel,
7 Of which I became a 1aminister according to the 2bgift of the cgrace of God which was given to me according to the doperation of His 3power.
8 To me, 1less than the aleast of all saints, was this bgrace given to announce to the cGentiles the 2unsearchable 3driches of Christ as the gospel
9 And to enlighten all that they may see what the 1aeconomy of the 2bmystery is, which 3throughout the ages has been chidden in God, who created all things,
10 In order that now to the 1arulers and the authorities in the bheavenlies the multifarious 2cwisdom of God might be made known through the 3dchurch,
11 According to the 1eternal apurpose which He 2made in 3Christ Jesus our Lord,
12 In whom we have aboldness and 1baccess in confidence through 2cfaith in Him.
13 Therefore I ask you not to faint at my aafflictions for your sake, since they are your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the 1aFather,
15 Of whom every 1family ain the heavens and on earth is 2named,
16 1That He would grant you, according to the 2ariches of His glory, to be 3bstrengthened with 4cpower through His 5Spirit 6into the dinner man,
17 That Christ may make His ahome in your 1hearts through 2faith, that you, being 3brooted and grounded in 4clove,
18 May be full of strength to 1apprehend with 2aall the saints what the 3breadth and length and height and depth are
