And also you, he filleth, who were dead in your sins and in your offences,

in which you formerly walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the will of the head of the authority of the air, and of this spirit that is active in the children of disobedience:

in those deeds in which we also formerly walked, in the cravings of our flesh, and we were doing the will of our flesh and of our mind, and we were fully children of wrath, like the rest.

But Elohim, who is rich in his mercies, because of the great love with which he loved us,

when we were dead in our sins, gave us life with the Mashiyach, and by his grace rescued us;

and raised us up with him, and seated us with him in heaven, in Y'shua the Mashiyach:

that he might show to the ages that are coming the greatness of the riches of his grace and his kindness that was upon us in Y'shua the Mashiyach.

For by his grace we have been delivered through faith, and this was not from you, but it is the gift of Elohim,

not from works, so that no one may boast.

For we are his creation, who were created in Y'shua the Mashiyach for good works, those that Elohim prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Because of this, keep remembering that you formerly were Gentiles in the flesh, and you were called the uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision, which is a work of hands in the flesh.

And you were at that time without the Mashiyach, and were strangers from the citizenship of Yisrael, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, and you were without hope and without Elohim in the world.

But now in Y'shua the Mashiyach you who formerly were far off have become near by the blood of the Mashiyach.

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has loosened the fence that stood in the middle,

and the enmity in his flesh, and he has abolished the law of commandments in his ordinances, so that he might create the two in his person into one new man and make peace,

and reconcile both in one body with Elohim, and by his cross he has killed the enmity.

And he came and announced peace to you who are far off and to those who are near,

because by him we both have access in one spirit to the Father.

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but sons of the city of the holy ones and sons of the house of Elohim.

And you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and of the prophets, and he has been the head of the corner of the building, Y'shua the Mashiyach.

And in him the whole building is joined together and grows into a holy temple in Master YHWH,

while you also are being built in him into a dwelling of Elohim in the Spirit.
