以弗所书二章11至22节

11所以你们应当记念：你们从前按肉体是外邦人，是称为没受割礼的；这名原是那些凭人手在肉身上称为受割礼之人所起的。

12那时，你们与基督无关，在以色列国民以外，在所应许的诸约上是局外人，并且活在世上没有指望，没有神。

13你们从前远离神的人，如今却在基督耶稣里，靠着他的血，已经得亲近了。

14因他使我们和睦（原文作：因他是我们的和睦），将两下合而为一，拆毁了中间隔断的墙；

15而且以自己的身体废掉冤仇，就是那记在律法上的规条，为要将两下借着自己造成一个新人，如此便成就了和睦。

16既在十字架上灭了冤仇，便藉这十字架使两下归为一体，与神和好了，

17并且来传和平的福音给你们远处的人，也给那近处的人。

18因为我们两下借着他被一个圣灵所感，得以进到父面前。

19这样，你们不再作外人和客旅，是与圣徒同国，是神家里的人了；

20并且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶稣自己为房角石，

21各（或作：全）房靠他联络得合式，渐渐成为主的圣殿。

22你们也靠他同被建造，成为神借着圣灵居住的所在。

Ephesians 2: 11 – 22

11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—

12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
