Part 2

49:002:004 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

49:002:005 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

49:002:006 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

49:002:007 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

49:002:008 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

49:002:009 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

49:002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

49:002:011 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

49:002:012 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:

49:002:013 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

49:002:014 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

49:002:015 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

49:002:016 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

49:002:017 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

49:002:018 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

49:002:019 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

49:002:020 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

49:002:021 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

49:002:022 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

49:003:001 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

49:003:002 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

49:003:003 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

49:003:004 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

49:003:005 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

49:003:006 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

49:003:007 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

49:003:008 Unto 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;

49:003:009 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
