Ephesians 2:1–10

By Grace Through Faith

2^jAnd you were ^kdead in the trespasses and sins ^2lin which you once walked, following the course¹ of this world, following ^mthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in ⁿthe sons of disobedience— ³among whom we all once lived in ^othe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and ^pwere by nature ^qchildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind.^{2 4}But³ God, being ^rrich in mercy, ^sbecause of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵even ^twhen we were dead in our trespasses, ^umade us alive together with Christ—^vby grace you have been saved— ⁶and raised us up with him and ^wseated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable ^xriches of his grace in ^ykindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸For ^zby grace you have been saved ^athrough faith. And this is ^bnot your own doing; ^cit is the gift of God, ^9dnot a result of works, ^eso that no one may boast. ¹⁰For ^fwe are his workmanship, ^gcreated in Christ Jesus ^hfor good works, ⁱwhich God prepared beforehand, ^jthat we should walk in them.
