Ephesians 2:12-3:8

Webster(i) 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who formerly were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances: to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity: 17 And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to a holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit. 3 1 For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me on your account. 3 That by revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words; 4 By which when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, 5 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: 7 Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power. 8 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
