By Grace Through Faith

Ephesians 2

¹ And _a you He made alive, _b who were dead in trespasses and sins, ² _c in which you once walked according to the ₁ course of this world, according to _d the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in _e the sons of disobedience, ³ _f among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in _g the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and _h were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. ⁴ But God, _i who is rich in mercy, because of His _j great love with which He loved us, ⁵ _k even when we were dead in trespasses, _l made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ⁶ and raised us up together, and made us sit together _m in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in _n His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ _o For by grace you have been saved _p through faith, and that not of yourselves; _q it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of _r works, lest anyone should _s boast. ¹⁰ For we are _t His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
