Made Alive in Christ

And (a)2:1 I.e., Gentile believersyou (b)2:1 Lit beingwere dead (c)2:1 Or by reason ofin your offenses and sins, Col 2:13in which you previously walked according to the (d)2:2 Lit agecourse of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the (e)2:2 I.e., people opposed to Godsons of disobedience. Jhn 12:31; 1Co 6:11; Col 3:7Among them (f)2:3 I.e., Jewish believerswe too all previously lived in the lusts of our flesh, (g)2:3 Lit doingindulging the desires of the flesh and of the (h)2:3 Lit thoughtsmind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, Rom 2:4even when we were dead (i)2:5 Or by reason ofin our wrongdoings, made us alive together (j)2:5 Two early mss in Christwith Christ (by grace you have been saved), Rom 8:11and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the (k)2:7 Lit surpassingboundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Eph 3:8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and (l)2:8 I.e., this salvationthis is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Act 15:11not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Rom 3:20For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.Isa 44:21; Tit 2:14; Heb 13:21

Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, (m)2:12 Or alienatedexcluded from (n)2:12 Or citizenship in Israelthe people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Neh 2:20; Ezk 13:9; Rom 9:4; Col 1:21But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away (o)2:13 Lit became; or were madehave been brought near (p)2:13 Or inby the blood of Christ. Act 2:39For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the (q)2:14 Lit the dividing wall of the barrierbarrier of the dividing wall, Isa 9:6; Jhn 16:33(r)2:15 Or the hostility, by abolishing in His flesh the Lawby abolishing (s)2:15 I.e., by His deathin His flesh the hostility, which is the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might (t)2:15 Lit createmake the two one new person, in this way establishing peace; 2Co 5:17and that He might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, (u)2:16 Or in Himselfby it having put to death the hostility. And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; Isa 57:19; Zec 9:10for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. Jhn 14:6; Rom 5:2; Heb 10:19So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the (v)2:19 Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s peoplesaints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, Isa 28:16; 1Pe 2:4in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy (w)2:21 Or sanctuarytemple in the Lord, Col 2:19in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.2Co 6:16
