[1] You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, [2] in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. [3] We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. [4] But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, [5] even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— [6] and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, [7] that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; [8] for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, [9] not of works, that no one would boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. [11] Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands), [12] that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. [13] But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. [14] For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation, [15] having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, [16] and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it. [17] He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. [18] For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. [19] So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, [20] being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; [21] in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; [22] in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
King James Version

The Household of God

[1] And G2532 you G5209 hath he quickened, who were G5607 (PresPtc) dead G3498 in trespasses G3900 and G2532 sins; G266 [2] wherein G1722 in time past G4218 ye walked G4043 (AorActInd) according to G2596 the course G165 of this G5127 world, G2889 according to G2596 the prince G758 of the power G1849 of the air, G109 the spirit G4151 that now G3568 worketh G1754 (PresActPtc) in G1722 the children G5207 of disobedience: G543 [3] among G1722 whom G3739 also G2532 we G2249 all G3956 had our conversation G390 (Aor2PasDepSubj) in times past G4218 in G1722 the lusts G1939 of our G2257 flesh, G4561 fulfilling G4160 (PresActPtc) the desires G2307§ of the flesh G4561 and G2532 of the mind; G1271 and G2532 were G2258 (ImpfInd) by nature G5449 the children G5043 of wrath, G3709 even G2532 as G5613 others. G3062 [4] But G1161 God, G2316 who is G5607 (PresPtc) rich G4145 in G1722 mercy, G1656 for G1223 his G846 great G4183 love G26 wherewith G3739 he loved G25 (AorActInd) us, G2248 [5] even G2532 when we G2248 were G5607 (PresPtc) dead G3498 in sins, G3900 hath quickened us together with G4806 (AorActInd) Christ, G5547 (by grace G5485 ye are G2075 (PresInd) saved;) G4982 (PerfPasPtc) [6] and G2532 hath raised us up together, G4891 (AorActInd) and G2532 made us sit together G4776 (AorActInd) in G1722 heavenly G2032 places in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus: G2424 [7] that G2443 in G1722 the ages G165 to come G1904 (PresMidPasDepPtc) he might shew G1731 (AorMidSubj) the exceeding G5235 (PresActPtc) riches G4149 of his G846 grace G5485 in G1722 his kindness G5544 toward G1909 us G2248 through G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424 [8] For G1063 by grace G5485 are ye G2075 (PresInd) saved G4982 (PerfPasPtc) through G1223 faith; G4102 and G2532 that G5124 not G3756 of G1537 yourselves: G5216 it is the gift G1435 of God: G2316 [9] not G3756 of G1537 works, G2041 lest G3363 any man G5100 should boast. G2744 (AorMidDepSubj) [10] For G1063 we are G2070 (PresInd) his G846 workmanship, G4161 created G2936 (AorPasPtc) in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 unto G1909 good G18 works, G2041 which G3739 God G2316 hath before ordained G4282 (AorActInd)§ that G2443 we should walk G4043 (AorActSubj) in G1722 them. G846 [11] Wherefore G1352 remember, G3421 (PresActImpr) that G3754 ye G5210 being in time past G4218 Gentiles G1484 in G1722 the flesh, G4561 who G3588 are called G3004 (PresPasPtc) Uncircumcision G203 by G5259 that which G3588 is called G3004 (PresPasPtc) the Circumcision G4061 in G1722 the flesh G4561 made by hands; G5499 [12] that G3754 at G1722 that G1565 time G2540 ye were G2258 (ImpfInd) without G5565 Christ, G5547 being aliens G526 (PerfPasPtc) from the commonwealth G4174 of Israel, G2474 and G2532 strangers G3581 from the covenants G1242 of promise, G1860 having G2192 (PresActPtc) no G3361 hope, G1680 and G2532 without God G112 in G1722 the world: G2889 [13] but G1161 now G3570 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 ye G5210 who G3588 sometimes G4218 were G5607 (PresPtc) far off G3112 are made G1096 (AorPasDepInd) nigh G1451 by G1722 the blood G129 of Christ. G5547 [14] For G1063 he G846 is G2076 (PresInd) our G2257 peace, G1515 who G3588 hath made G4160 (AorActPtc) both G297 one, G1520 and G2532 hath broken down G3089 (AorActPtc) the middle wall G3320 of partition G5418 between us; [15] having abolished G2673 (AorActPtc) in G1722 his G846 flesh G4561 the enmity, G2189 even the law G3551 of commandments G1785 contained in G1722 ordinances; G1378 for to G2443 make G2936 (AorActSubj) in G1722 himself G1438 of twain G1417 one G1519 new G2537 man, G444 so making G4160 (PresActPtc) peace; G1515 [16] and G2532 that he might reconcile G604 (AorActSubj) both G297 unto God G2316 in G1722 one G1520 body G4983 by G1223 the cross, G4716 having slain G615 (AorActPtc) the enmity G2189 thereby: G1722§ [17] and G2532 came G2064 (Aor2ActPtc) and preached G2097 (AorMidInd) peace G1515 to you G5213 which G3588 were afar off, G3112 and G2532 to them that were nigh. G1451 [18] For G3754 through G1223 him G846 we G2192 both G297 have G2192 (PresActInd) access G4318 by G1722 one G1520 Spirit G4151 unto G4314 the Father. G3962 [19] Now G3767 therefore G686 ye are G2075 (PresInd) no more G3765 strangers G3581 and G2532 foreigners, G3941 but G235 fellowcitizens G4847 with the saints, G40 and G2532 of the household G3609 of God; G2316 [20] and are built G2026 (AorPasPtc) upon G1909 the foundation G2310 of the apostles G652 and G2532 prophets, G4396 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 himself G846 being G5607 (PresPtc) the chief corner G204 stone; [21] in G1722 whom G3739 all G3956 the building G3619 fitly framed together G4883 (PresPasPtc) groweth G837 (PresActInd) unto G1519 an holy G40 temple G3485 in G1722 the Lord: G2962 [22] in G1722 whom G3739 ye G5210 also G2532 are builded together G4925 (PresPasInd) for G1519 an habitation G2732 of God G2316 through G1722 the Spirit.
