Ephesians 2
You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, 2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; 3among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4But Allah, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with al-Masih (by grace you have been saved), 6and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in al-Masih 'Isa, 7that in the ages to come he might show the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in al-Masih 'Isa; 8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of Allah, 9not of works, that no one would boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in al-Masih 'Isa for good works, which Allah prepared before that we would walk in them.
11Therefore remember that once you, the non-Jews in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); 12that you were at that time separate from al-Masih, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without Allah in the world. 13But now in al-Masih 'Isa you who once were far off are made near through the blood of al-Masih. 14For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition. 15He abolished in his own flesh the hostility occasioned by the Taurat's shariah with all its regulations, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace. 16He did it so he could reconcile them both in one body to Allah through the cross, having destroyed the hostility thereby. 17He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. 18For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of Allah, 20being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, al-Masih 'Isa himself being the chief cornerstone; 21in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of Allah in the Spirit.
