5. even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
6. and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:
7. that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:
8. for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. not of works, that no man should glory.
10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
11. Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
12. that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13. But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
14. For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
15. having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, so making peace;
16. and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
