AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
ThatG2443 inG1722 the agesG165 to comeG1904 he might shewG1731 the exceedingG5235 richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485 inG1722 his kindnessG5544 towardG1909 usG2248 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
NotG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, lestG3363 any manG5100 should boastG2744.
ForG1063 we areG2070 hisG846 workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 untoG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath before ordainedG4282 thatG2443 we should walkG4043 inG1722 themG846. {ordained: or, prepared}
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ThatG3754 atG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 ye wereG2258 withoutG5565 ChristG5547, being aliensG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 from the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680, andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 the worldG2889:
ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 yeG5210 whoG3588 sometimesG4218 wereG5607 far offG3112 are madeG1096 nighG1451 byG1722 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
ForG3754 throughG1223 himG846 weG2192 bothG297 haveG2192 accessG4318 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 untoG4314 the FatherG3962.
NowG3767 thereforeG686 ye areG2075 no moreG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellowcitizensG4847 with the saintsG40, andG2532 of the householdG3609 of GodG2316;
And are builtG2026 uponG1909 the foundationG2310 of the apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846 beingG5607 the chief cornerG204 stone;
InG1722 whomG3739 allG3956 the buildingG3619 fitly framed togetherG4883 growethG837 untoG1519 an holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962:
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 are builded togetherG4925 forG1519 an habitationG2732 of GodG2316 throughG1722 the SpiritG4151.

ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
WhereG4226 is boastingG2746 thenG3767? It is excludedG1576. ByG1223 whatG4169 lawG3551? of worksG2041? NayG3780: butG235 byG1223 the lawG3551 of faithG4102.
ThereforeG3767 we concludeG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 withoutG5565 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
ThatG3704 noG3361+G3956 fleshG4561 should gloryG2744 in his presenceG1799+G846.
ButG1161 ofG1537 himG846 areG2075 yeG5210 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3739 ofG575 GodG2316 is madeG1096 unto usG2254+G5037 wisdomG4678, and righteousnessG1343, andG2532 sanctificationG38, andG2532 redemptionG629:
ThatG2443, according asG2531 it is writtenG1125, He that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
WhoG3588 hath savedG4982 usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564 us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325 usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 the world beganG5550+G166,
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
