Ephesians:2:11-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore 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 ;
*
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 :
*
But now in Christ Jesus ye who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ .
*
For he is our peace ,
who hath made both one ,
and hath broken down the middle wall of partition ;
*
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity ,
the law of commandments in ordinances ;
to make in himself of two one new man ,
making peace ;
*
And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross ,
having by himself slain the enmity : (

thereby :
or ,
in himself (:
note )
*
And came and preached peace to you who were afar off ,
and to them that were near .
*
For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father .
*
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and aliens ,
but fellowcitizens with the saints ,
and of the household of God ;
*
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets ,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner ;
*
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth to an holy temple in the Lord :
*
In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit .
