Ephesians 2:1-9 ▼

1 And you?, being dead in your? trespasses and sins—

2 in which once you? walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,

3 among whom we all also once conducted ourselves in the desires of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of its thoughts; and we were by nature children of wrath even as the rest.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His much love with which He loved us,

5 even us being dead in trespasses, made us alive with Christ—by grace you? are saved—

6 and He raised us up together and seated us together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 so that in the ages that are coming, He might display the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you? are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not by works, so that no one may boast.
