^7 (A)In him we have ^(B)redemption ^(C)through his blood, ^(D)the forgiveness of our trespasses, ^(E)according to the riches of his grace,

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith. And this is ^(C)not your own doing; ^(D)it is the gift of God, ^9 (E)not a result of works, ^(F)so that no one may boast. ¹⁰ For ^(G)we are his workmanship, ^(H)created in Christ Jesus ^(I)for good works, ^(J)which God prepared beforehand, ^(K)that we should walk in them.

One in Christ

¹¹ Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^(L)the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— ¹² remember ^(M)that you were at that time separated from Christ, ^(N)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^(O)the covenants of promise, ^(P)having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(Q)far off have been brought near ^(R)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For ^(S)he himself is our peace, ^(T)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(U)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(V)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(W)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(X)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(Y)preached peace to you who were ^(Z)far off and peace to those who were ^(AA)near. ¹⁸ For ^(AB)through him we both have ^(AC)access in ^(AD)one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(AE)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(AF)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(AG)members of the household of God, ^20 (AH)built on the foundation of the ^(AI)apostles and prophets, ^(AJ)Christ Jesus himself being ^(AK)the cornerstone, ^21 (AL)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(AM)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(AN)you also are being built together ^(AO)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.

¹¹ And ^(A)he gave the ^(B)apostles, the prophets, the ^(C)evangelists, the ^(D)shepherds^[a] and teachers,^{[b] 12 (E)}to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for ^(F)building up ^(G)the body of Christ, ¹³ until we all attain to ^(H)the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ^(I)to mature manhood,^[c] to the measure of the stature of ^(J)the fullness of Christ, ¹⁴ so that we may no longer be children, ^(K)tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^(L)deceitful schemes. ¹⁵ Rather, ^(M)speaking the truth in love, we are to ^(N)grow up in every way into him who is ^(O)the head, into Christ, ^16 (P)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, ^(Q)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
