By Grace Through Faith

1 And ayou He made alive, bwho were dead in trespasses and sins,  
2 ain which you once walked according to the1 course of this world, according to bthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in cthe sons of disobedience,  
3 aamong whom also we all once conducted ourselves in bthe lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and cwere by nature children of wrath, just as the others.  
4 But God, awho is rich in mercy, because of His bgreat love with which He loved us,  
5 aeven when we were dead in trespasses, bmade us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),  
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together ain the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,  
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in aHis kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  
8 aFor by grace you have been saved bthrough faith, and that not of yourselves; cit is the gift of God,  
9 not of aworks, lest anyone should bboast.  
10 For we are aHis workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.  

Brought Near by His Blood

11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called athe Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—  
12 that at that time you 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.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one anew man from the two, thus making peace,  
16 and that He might areconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bputting to death the enmity.
