And you who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Where in the past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:
Among whom we all also had our conversation in the past in the concupiscence of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
But Êlôhîym, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Mâshı̂yach, (by grace you are saved;)
And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Mâshı̂yach Yahusha:
That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Mâshı̂yach Yahusha.
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Êlôhîym:
Not by works, lest any man should boast.
For we are his workmanship, created in Mâshı̂yach Yahusha unto good works, which Êlôhîym has ordained before that we should walk in them.
Therefore remember, that you were in the past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcised by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time you were without Mâshı̂yach, being aliens from the citizenship of Yâshârêl, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Êlôhîym in the world:
But now in Mâshı̂yach Yahusha you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of Mâshı̂yach.
For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile both unto Êlôhîym in one body by the stake, having slain the enmity thereby:
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were near.
For through him we both have access by one rûach unto the father.
Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of Êlôhîym;
And are built upon the foundation of the apóstolos and prophets, Yahusha Mâshı̂yach himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building jointed together grows unto a sacred temple in the Âdônây:
In whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of Êlôhîym through the rûach.
