Ephesians 4:11-16Most translations have broken these up intoseveral sentences, but in the original Greek textthey are one continuous sentence.

saved through faith; and that not ofyourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as

which God prepared beforehand, that
we should walk in them.

you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who arecalled "Uncircumcision" by the so-called
"Circumcision," which is performed in the
flesh by human hands--12
remember thatyou were at that time separate from Christ,
excluded from the commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers to the covenants of promise,
having no hope and without God in the
world.

made both groups into one, and brokedown the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by
abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is
the Law of commandments contained inordinances, that in Himself He might make
the two into one new man, thus
establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile
them both in one body to God through the
cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

Ephesians 3:4-7
4 And by referring to this, when you
read you can understand my insight intothe mystery of Christ, 5 which in other
generations was not made known to the
sons of men, as it has now been revealed
to His holy apostles and prophets in theSpirit; 6to be specific, that the Gentiles are
fellow heirs and fellow members of the
body, and fellow partakers of the promise in
Christ Jesus through the gospel, 7 of which
I was made a minister, according to the gift
of God's grace which was given to me
according to the working of His power.

Ephesians 4:17-19
17 This I say therefore, and affirm
together with the Lord, that you walk nolonger just as the Gentiles also walk, in the
futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in
their understanding, excluded from the lifeof God, because of the ignorance that is in
them, because of the hardness of their
heart; 19 and they, having become callous,
have given themselves over to sensuality,for the practice of every kind of impurity
with greediness.

Ephesians 4:20-24
20 But you did not learn Christ in this
way, 21 if indeed you have heard Him andhave been taught in Him, just as truth is in
Jesus, 22 that, in reference to your former
manner of life, you lay aside the old self,which is being corrupted in accordance with
the lusts of deceit, 23 and that you be
renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and
put on the new self, which in the likeness ofGod has been created in righteousness
and holiness of the truth.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord, and
in the strength of His might.
11 Put on the full armor of God, that
you may be able to stand firm against the
