Ephesians 2:11-22
Notes
Transcript
For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?
and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near;
For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near;
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,
but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.
in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
For this is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, “The stone which the builders rejected, This became the very corner stone,”
and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
