- And you, though dead in your offenses and sins,
- In which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which is now operating in the sons of disobedience;
- Among whom we also all conducted ourselves once in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest;
- But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
- Even when we were dead in offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)
- And raised us up together with Him and seated us together with Him in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
- That He might display in the ages to come the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
- For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God;
- Not of works that no one should boast.
- For we are His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand in order that we would walk in them.
