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,
