Ephesians 2:2–10

²in which you ^aformerly walked according to the ¹course of ^bthis world, according to ^cthe prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^dthe sons of disobedience.

³Among them we too all ^aformerly lived in ^bthe lusts of our flesh, ¹indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ²mind, and were ^cby nature ^dchildren of wrath, ^eeven as the rest.

⁴But God, being ^arich in mercy, because of ^bHis great love with which He loved us,

⁵even when we were ^adead ¹in our transgressions, made us alive together ²with Christ (^bby grace you have been saved),

⁶and ^araised us up with Him, and ^bseated us with Him in ^cthe heavenly places in ^dChrist Jesus,

⁷so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing ^ariches of His grace in ^bkindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁸For ^aby grace you have been saved ^bthrough faith; and ¹that not of yourselves, it is ^cthe gift of God;

^9anot as a result of works, so that ^bno one may boast.

¹⁰For we are His workmanship, ^acreated in ^bChrist Jesus for ^cgood works, which God ^dprepared beforehand so that we would ^ewalk in them.
