By Grace Through Faith

1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins (Lu 15:24; Eph 2:5; Eph 4:18; Col 1:21; Col 2:13)

Lu 15:24Eph 2:5Eph 4:18Col 1:21Col 2:13

2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— (Joh 12:31; Ro 11:30; 1Co 6:11; Eph 4:17; Eph 4:22; Eph 5:6; Eph 5:8; Eph 6:12; Col 3:7; 1Pe 1:14; Re 9:11)

3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body^[1] and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.^[2] (Ps 51:5; Ro 5:12; Ga 5:16; 2Pe 2:14)

Ps 51:5Ro 5:12Ga 5:162Pe 2:14

4 But^[3] God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, (Joh 3:16; Ro 2:4; Eph 2:7; Tit 3:5)

Joh 3:16Ro 2:4Eph 2:7Tit 3:5

5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— (Joh 14:19; Ac 15:11; Ro 5:6; Ro 5:8; Ro 5:10; Eph 2:1; Eph 2:8; Col 2:12; Re 20:4)

Joh 14:19Ac 15:11Ro 5:6Ro 5:8Ro 5:10Eph 2:1Eph 2:8Col 2:12Re 20:4

6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, (Eph 1:20) 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Eph 2:4; Tit 3:4) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (Joh 4:10; Ro 4:16; 2Co 3:5; Eph 2:5; Heb 6:4; 1Pe 1:5)

Joh 4:10Ro 4:162Co 3:5Eph 2:5Heb 6:41Pe 1:5

9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Jud 7:2; Ro 3:20; Ro 3:28; 1Co 1:29; 2Ti 1:9; Tit 3:5)

Jud 7:2Ro 3:20Ro 3:281Co 1:292Ti 1:9Tit 3:5

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (De 32:6; De 32:15; Ps 100:3; Eph 1:4; Eph 3:9; Eph 4:24; Col 1:10; Col 3:10)

One in Christ

11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— (Ro 2:26; Ro 2:28; Col 2:11; Col 2:13)

Ro 2:26Ro 2:28Col 2:11Col 2:13

12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. (Eze 14:5; Ro 9:4; 1Co 12:2; Ga 2:15; Ga 4:8; Eph 1:18; Eph 4:18; Eph 5:8; Col 1:21; Col 3:7; 1Th 4:13)

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ac 2:39; Ro 3:25; Eph 2:17; Col 1:20)

Ac 2:39Ro 3:25Eph 2:17Col 1:20

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility (Ps 72:7; Mic 5:5; Zec 9:10; Lu 2:14; Ro 7:4; Ga 3:28; Col 1:21; Col 3:15)

Ps 72:7Mic 5:5Zec 9:10Lu 2:14Ro 7:4Ga 3:28Col 1:21Col 3:15

15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, (Ro 6:4; Col 2:14; Col 2:20) 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. (1Co 12:13; Col 1:20) 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. (De 4:7; Ps 148:14; Isa 57:19; Eph 2:13)

De 4:7Ps 148:14Isa 57:19Eph 2:13

18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. (Joh 4:23; Joh 10:7; Joh 10:9; Joh 14:6; Ro 5:2; 1Co 12:13; Eph 3:12; Eph 4:4)

Joh 4:23Joh 10:7Joh 10:9Joh 14:6Ro 5:21Co 12:13Eph 3:12Eph 4:4

19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,^[4] but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, (Ga 6:10; Eph 2:12; Php 3:20; Heb 11:13; Heb 12:22; Heb 13:14)

Ga 6:10Eph 2:12Php 3:20Heb 11:13Heb 12:22Heb 13:14

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, (Ps 118:22; Isa 28:16; Jer 12:16; Mt 16:18; 1Co 3:9; 1Co 3:11; Re 21:14)

Ps 118:22Isa 28:16Jer 12:16Mt 16:181Co 3:91Co 3:11Re 21:14

21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. (1Co 3:16; Eph 4:15) 22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by^[5] the Spirit. (2Co 6:16; Eph 3:17; 1Ti 3:15; 1Pe 2:5)

Новият живот – благодатен дар

1 И съживи вас, когато бяхте мъртви чрез вашите престъпления и грехове, (Joh 5:24; Eph 2:5; Eph 4:18; Col 2:13)

Joh 5:24Eph 2:5Eph 4:18Col 2:13

2 в които сте ходили някога според вървежа на този свят, по княза на въздушната власт, на духа, който сега действа в синовете на непокорството; (Joh 12:31; 1Co 6:11; Eph 4:22; Eph 5:6; Eph 6:12; Col 1:21; Col 3:6; Col 3:7; 1Jo 5:19)

Joh 12:311Co 6:11Eph 4:22Eph 5:6Eph 6:12Col 1:21Col 3:6Col 3:71Jo 5:19

3 между които и ние всички сме живели някога в нашите плътски страсти, като сме изпълнявали волята на плътта и на помислите и по естество сме били чеда на гнева, както и другите. (Ps 51:5; Ro 5:12; Ro 5:14; Ga 5:16; Tit 3:3; 1Pe 4:3)

Ps 51:5Ro 5:12Ro 5:14Ga 5:16Tit 3:31Pe 4:3

4 Бог обаче, Който е богат с милост, поради голямата любов, с която ни възлюби, (Ro 10:12; Eph 1:7; Eph 2:7)

Ro 10:12Eph 1:7Eph 2:7

5 даже когато бяхме мъртви чрез престъпленията си, ни съживи заедно с Христос (по благодат сте спасени) (Ac 15:11; Ro 2:1; Ro 5:6; Ro 5:8; Ro 5:10; Ro 6:4; Ro 6:5; Eph 2:8; Col 2:12; Col 2:13; Col 3:1; Col 3:3; Tit 3:5)

6 и като ни възкреси заедно с Него, ни сложи да седим с Него в небесни места, в Христос Исус; (Eph 1:20) 7 за да показва през вековете, които ще дойдат, изобилното богатство на Своята благодат чрез добрината Си към нас в Христос Исус. (Eph 3:8; Tit 3:4) 8 Защото по благодат сте спасени чрез вяра, и то не от самите вас; това е дар от Бога; (Mt 16:17; Joh 6:44; Joh 6:65; Ac 15:11; Ro 3:24; Ro 4:16; Ro 10:14; Ro 10:15; Ro 10:17; Eph 1:19; Eph 2:5; Php 1:29; 2Ti 1:9)

9 не чрез дела, за да не се похвали никой. (Ro 3:20; Ro 3:27; Ro 3:28; Ro 4:2; Ro 9:11; Ro 11:6; 1Co 1:29; 2Ti 3:5)

10 Защото сме Негово творение, създадени в Христос Исус за добри дела, в които Бог отнапред е наредил да ходим. (De 32:6; Ps 100:3; Isa 19:25; Isa 29:23; Isa 44:21; Joh 3:3; Joh 3:5; 1Co 3:9; Eph 1:4; Tit 2:14; Heb 13:21)

Единството на църквата

11 Затова помнете, че вие, някога езичници по плът, наричани необрязани от тези, които се наричат обрязани – с обрязване на плътта, което се извършва с ръце, (Isa 44:21; Ro 2:28; Ro 2:29; 1Co 12:2; Eph 5:8; Col 1:21; Col 2:11; Col 2:13)

Isa 44:21Ro 2:28Ro 2:291Co 12:2Eph 5:8Col 1:21Col 2:11Col 2:13

12 в онова време бяхте отделени от Христос, отстранени от Израилевото гражданство и чужденци към заветите на обещанието, без да имате надежда и без Бога на света. (Ne 2:20; Eze 13:9; Joh 10:16; Ro 9:4; Ro 9:8; Ga 4:8; Eph 4:18; Col 1:21; 1Th 4:5; 1Th 4:13)

13 А сега в Христос Исус вие, които някога сте били далеч, сте поставени близо чрез кръвта на Христос. (Ac 2:39; Ga 3:28; Eph 2:17)

Ac 2:39Ga 3:28Eph 2:17

14 Защото Той е нашият мир, Който направи двата отдела едно и събори средната стена, която ги разделяше, (Isa 9:6; Mic 5:5; Joh 10:16; Joh 16:33; Ac 10:36; Ro 5:1; Ga 3:28; Col 1:20)

Isa 9:6Mic 5:5Joh 10:16Joh 16:33Ac 10:36Ro 5:1Ga 3:28Col 1:20

15 като в плътта Си унищожи враждата, т. е. закона със заповедите Му, изразени в постановления, за да създаде в Себе Си от двата един нов човек и така да въдвори мир, (2Co 5:17; Ga 6:15; Eph 4:24; Col 1:22; Col 2:14; Col 2:20)

2Co 5:17Ga 6:15Eph 4:24Col 1:22Col 2:14Col 2:20

16 и в едно тяло да примири и двата с Бога чрез кръста, като уби на него враждата. (Ro 6:6; Ro 8:3; Col 1:20; Col 2:14)

Ro 6:6Ro 8:3Col 1:20Col 2:14

17 И като дойде, благовества мир на вас, които бяхте далеч, и мир на тези, които бяха близо; (Ps 148:14; Isa 57:19; Zec 9:10; Ac 2:39; Ac 10:36; Ro 5:1; Eph 2:13; Eph 2:14)

Ps 148:14Isa 57:19Zec 9:10Ac 2:39Ac 10:36Ro 5:1Eph 2:13Eph 2:14

18 защото чрез Него и едните, и другите имаме свой достъп при Отца, в един Дух. (Joh 10:9; Joh 14:6; Ro 5:2; 1Co 12:13; Eph 3:12; Eph 4:4; Heb 4:16; Heb 10:19; Heb 10:20; 1Pe 3:18)

19 Затова вие не сте вече странници и пришълци, а сте съграждани на светиите и членове на Божието семейство; (Ga 6:10; Eph 3:15; Php 3:20; Heb 12:22; Heb 12:23)

Ga 6:10Eph 3:15Php 3:20Heb 12:22Heb 12:23

20 понеже бяхте съградени върху основата на апостолите и пророците, като крайъгълен камък е сам Христос Исус, (Ps 118:22; Isa 9:6; Isa 28:16; Mt 16:18; Mt 21:42; 1Co 3:9; 1Co 3:10; 1Co 12:28; Ga 2:9; Eph 4:11; Eph 4:12; 1Pe 2:4; 1Pe 2:5; Re 21:14)
