Ephesians 2:4-13
4ButG1161 because ofG1223 HisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 for usG3739G25G1473, GodG2316, who isG1510 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, 5made us alive withG4806 ChristG5547 even whenG2532 weG1473 wereG1510 deadG3498 in ourG3588 trespassesG3900. It is by graceG5485 you have beenG1510 savedG4982! 6AndG2532 God raised us up withG4891 Christ andG2532 seatedG4776 us with Him inG1722 theG3588 heavenly realmsG2032 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 7in order thatG2443 inG1722 theG3588 comingG1904 agesG165 He might displayG1731 theG3588 surpassingG5235 richesG4149 ofG3588 HisG846 graceG5485, demonstrated byG1722 His kindnessG5544 toG1909 usG1473 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
8ForG1063 it is by graceG5485 you have beenG1510 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102, andG2532 thisG3778 notG3756 fromG1537 yourselvesG4771; it is theG3588 giftG1435 of GodG2316, 9notG3756 byG1537 worksG2041, so thatG2443 noG3361 oneG5100 can boastG2744. 10ForG1063 we areG1510 God’s workmanshipG4161, createdG2936 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 to doG1909 goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 prepared in advanceG4282 asG2443 our way of lifeG4043G1722G846.1
11ThereforeG1352 rememberG3421 thatG3754 formerlyG4218 youG4771 whoG3588 are GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561 and calledG3004 uncircumcisedG203 byG5259 theG3588 so-calledG3004 circumcisionG4061 (that done inG1722 the bodyG4561 by human handsG5499)— 12remember thatG3754 atG3588 thatG1565 timeG2540 you wereG1510 separate fromG5565 ChristG5547, alienated fromG526 theG3588 commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 to theG3588 covenantsG1242 of theG3588 promiseG1860, withoutG3361G2192 hopeG1680 andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889. 13ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 youG4771 whoG3588 onceG4218 wereG1510 far awayG3112 have been broughtG1096 nearG1451 throughG1722 theG3588 bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
