1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins

3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and by nature we were children under wrath, as the others were also.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But God, who is abundant in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us,

5 made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. By grace you are saved!

7 so that in the coming ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace in [His] kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift-

11 So then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh-called "the uncircumcised" by those called "the circumcised," done by hand in the flesh.
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
12 At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, with no hope and without God in the world.

14 For He is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In His flesh,
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 He did away with the law of the commandments in regulations, so that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, resulting in peace.
15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 [He did this so] that He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross and put the hostility to death by it.

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

22 in whom you also are being built together for God's dwelling in the Spirit.
22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
