Ephesians 2
1 And hath quickened you also that were deed in treaspasse and synne2 in ye which in tyme passed ye walked acordynge to the course of this worlde and after the governer that ruleth in the ayer the sprete yt now worketh in the children of vnbelefe3 amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesshe and fullfilled the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were naturally the children of wrath even as wel as other.
4 But God which is rich in mercy thorow his greate love wherwith he loved vs5 even when we were deed by synne hath quickened vs together in Christ (for by grace are ye saved)6 and hath raysed vs vp together and made vs sitte together in hevenly thynges thorow Christ Iesus7 for to shewe in tymes to come the excedynge ryches of his grace in kyndnes to vs warde in Christ Iesu.8 For by grace are ye made safe thorowe fayth and that not of youre selves. For it is the gyfte of God9 and commeth not of workes lest eny man shuld bost him silfe.10 For we are his worckmanshippe created in Christ Iesu vnto good workes vnto the which god ordeyned vs before that we shuld walke in them.
11 Wherfore remeber yt ye beynge in tyme passed getyls in ye flesshe and were called vncircucision to the which are called circucisio in the flesshe which circucision is made by hondes:12 Remeber I saye yt ye were at that tyme wt oute Christ and were reputed aliantes from the comen welth of Israel and were straugers fro the testamentes of promes and had no hope and were with out god in this worlde.13 But now in Christ Iesu ye which a whyle agoo were farre of are made nye by ye bloude of Christ.
14 For he is oure peace whych hath made of both one and hath broken doune the wall yt was a stoppe bitwene vs15 and hath also put awaye thorow his flesshe the cause of hatred (that is to saye the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe written) for to make of twayne one newe ma in him silfe so makynge peace:16 and to recocile both vnto god in one body thorow his crosse and slewe hatred therby:17 and came and preached peace to you which were afarre of and to them that were nye.18 For thorow him we both have an open waye in in one sprete vnto the father.19 Now therfore ye are no moare straugers and foreners: but citesyns with the saynctes and of the housholde of god:20 and are bilt apon the foundacion of the apostles and prophetes Iesus Christ beynge the heed corner stone21 in whom every bildynge coupled togedder groweth vnto an holy temple in ye lorde22 in who ye also are bilt togedder and made an habitacio for god in the sprete.
