\v 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and your sins
\v 2 in which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authorities of the air, of the spirit of him who is working in the sons of disobedience.
\v 3 We all were once among these unbelievers and acted according to the evil desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the mind, and we were by nature children of wrath like the others.
\s5
\v 4 But since God is rich in mercy because of his great love with which he loved us,
\v 11 Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by what is called "the circumcision" in the flesh made by human hands.
\v 12 For at that time you were separated from Christ, foreigners to the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no certainty about the future and without God in the world.
\v 16 He did this to reconcile both peoples into one body to God through the cross, putting to death the hostility between them.
\s5
\v 17 Jesus came and proclaimed peace to those who were far away and peace to those who were near.
\v 18 For through Jesus we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
\s5
\v 19 So then now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners, but instead you are fellow citizens with those set apart for God and members of God's family.
\v 20 You are being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.
