Ephesians 2:1-10
By Grace Through Faith
aAnd you were bdead in the trespasses and sins 2 ain which you once walked, following the course of this world, following bthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in cthe sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in athe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and bwere by nature cchildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being arich in mercy, bbecause of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even awhen we were dead in our trespasses, bmade us alive together with Christ—cby grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and aseated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable ariches of his grace in bkindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For aby grace you have been saved bthrough faith. And this is cnot your own doing; dit is the gift of God, 9 anot a result of works, bso that no one may boast. 10 For awe are his workmanship, bcreated in Christ Jesus cfor good works, dwhich God prepared beforehand, ethat we should walk in them.
