Ephesians

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:

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
