Ephesians 2:12-3:8
English Standard Version
12 remember (A)that you were at that time separated from Christ, (B)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to (C)the covenants of promise, (D)having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were (E)far off have been brought near (F)by the blood of Christ. 14 For (G)he himself is our peace, (H)who has made us both one and has broken down (I)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in (J)ordinances, that he might create in himself one (K)new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might (L)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and (M)preached peace to you who were (N)far off and peace to those who were (O)near. 18 For (P)through him we both have (Q)access in (R)one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer (S)strangers and aliens,[a] but you are (T)fellow citizens with the saints and (U)members of the household of God, 20 (V)built on the foundation of the (W)apostles and prophets, (X)Christ Jesus himself being (Y)the cornerstone, 21 (Z)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into (AA)a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him (AB)you also are being built together (AC)into a dwelling place for God by[b] the Spirit.
The Mystery of the Gospel Revealed
3 For this reason I, Paul, (AD)a prisoner of Christ Jesus (AE)on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of (AF)the stewardship of (AG)God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 (AH)how the mystery was made known to me (AI)by revelation, (AJ)as I have written briefly. 4 (AK)When you read this, you can perceive my insight into (AL)the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is[c] that the Gentiles are (AM)fellow heirs, (AN)members of the same body, and (AO)partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
7 (AP)Of this gospel I was made (AQ)a minister according to the gift of (AR)God's grace, which was given me (AS)by the working of his power. 8 To me, (AT)though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, (AU)to preach to the Gentiles the (AV)unsearchable (AW)riches of Christ,

Ephesians 2:12-3:8
New International Version
12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(A) to the covenants of the promise,(B) without hope(C) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(D) were far away have been brought near(E) by the blood of Christ.(F)
14 For he himself is our peace,(G) who has made the two groups one(H) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(I) the law with its commands and regulations.(J) His purpose was to create in himself one(K) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(L) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(M) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(N) 18 For through him we both have access(O) to the Father(P) by one Spirit.(Q)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(R) but fellow citizens(S) with God’s people and also members of his household,(T) 20 built(U) on the foundation(V) of the apostles and prophets,(W) with Christ Jesus himself(X) as the chief cornerstone.(Y) 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple(Z) in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(AA)
God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles
3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner(AB) of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me(AC) for you, 3 that is, the mystery(AD) made known to me by revelation,(AE) as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight(AF) into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.(AG) 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs(AH) together with Israel, members together of one body,(AI) and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.(AJ)
7 I became a servant of this gospel(AK) by the gift of God’s grace given me(AL) through the working of his power.(AM) 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people,(AN) this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles(AO) the boundless riches of Christ,(AP)
