(KJV) Ephesians 2¹

⥃Alive with Christ ^{[ Colossians 2:6–23 ]}

[1] And you² [hath he quickened], who were dead³ in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time⁴ past ye walked according⁵ to the course of this world, according to the prince⁶ of the power of the air⁷, the spirit⁸ that now worketh in the children⁹ of disobedience: [3] Among whom also we¹⁰ all had our conversation in times¹¹ past in the¹² lusts of our flesh, fulfilling¹³ the desires¹⁴ of the flesh and of the mind; and were by¹⁵ nature the children¹⁶ of wrath, even¹⁷ as others. [4] But God, who¹⁸ is rich in mercy, for his¹⁹ great love wherewith he loved us, [5] Even when we were dead²⁰ in sins, hath quickened²¹ us together with Christ, (by grace ye²² are saved;) [6] And hath²³ raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit²⁴ together in²⁵ heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: [7] That in the²⁶ ages to come he might shew²⁷ the exceeding riches of his grace in [his²⁸] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. [8] For by²⁹ grace are ye saved through³⁰ faith; and that³¹ not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.³² [10] For we are³³ his workmanship, created³⁴ in Christ Jesus unto good³⁵ works, which³⁶ God hath before ordained³⁷ that we should walk³⁸ in them.

⥃One in Christ ^{[ Philippians 2:1–4 ]}

[11] Wherefore remember³⁹, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles⁴⁰ in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision⁴¹ by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made⁴² by hands; [12] That at that time ye were without⁴³ Christ, being aliens⁴⁴ from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants⁴⁵ of promise, having⁴⁶ no hope, and without⁴⁷ God in the world: [13] But now in⁴⁸ Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were⁴⁹ far off are⁵⁰ made nigh by the blood of Christ. [14] For he is our⁵¹ peace, who hath made both⁵² one, and hath broken down the middle⁵³ wall of partition [between us]; [15] Having abolished in his⁵⁴ flesh the enmity, [even] the law⁵⁵ of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one⁵⁶ new man, [so] making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile⁵⁷ both unto God in one body by the cross, having⁵⁸ slain the enmity thereby⁵⁹: [17] And came and preached⁶⁰ peace to you which were afar off, and to them that⁶¹ were nigh. [18] For through⁶² him we both have access by⁶³ one Spirit unto the⁶⁴ Father.

⥃Christ Our Cornerstone ^{[ Isaiah 28:14–22 † 1 Corinthians 3:10–15 † 1 Peter 2:1–8 ]}

[19] Now therefore ye are no more strangers⁶⁵ and foreigners, but⁶⁶ fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household⁶⁷ of God; [20] And are built⁶⁸ upon the foundation⁶⁹ of the apostles and prophets, Jesus⁷⁰ Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; [21] In whom all⁷¹ the building fitly⁷² framed together groweth unto an⁷³ holy temple in the Lord: [22] In whom ye also are builded together for an⁷⁴ habitation of God through the Spirit.
