AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world:

but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ.

and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh:

For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light;
