Ephesians 2:3-9
Read Ephesians 2 in full →3among whom we all also aformerly conducted ourselves in bthe lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the 1mind, 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 1this not of yourselves, it is cthe gift of God; 9anot of works, so that bno one may boast.
