Ephesians 2:1–10

And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins, ²wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; ³among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:— ⁴but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), ⁶and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: ⁷that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: ⁸for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; ⁹not of works, that no man should glory. ¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.
