Ephesians 2:6-16

Lexham English Bible LEB

6 and raised [us] together and seated [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

7 in order that he might show in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this [is] not from yourselves, [it is] the gift of God;

9 [it is] not from works, so that no one can boast.

10 For we are his creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we may walk in them.

11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the so-called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in [the] flesh, made by hands,

12 that you were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, not having hope, and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you, the ones who once were far away, have become near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh,

15 invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, [thus] making peace,

16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.

New International Version NIV

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

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 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

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 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 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
