Ephesians 2:1-9
1And you 1were 2deadG3498 3in your trespassesG3900 and sinsG266,
2in whichG3739 you 4formerlyG4218 walkedG4043 accordingG2596 to the 5courseG165 of 6thisG3778 worldG2889, accordingG2596 to 7the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, of the spiritG4151 that is nowG3568 workingG1754 in 8the sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543.
3AmongG1722 them we tooG2532 allG3956 9formerlyG4218 livedG390 in 10the lustsG1939 of our fleshG4561, 11indulgingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 and of the 12mindG1271, and were 13by natureG5449 14childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, 15evenG2532 as the restG3062.
4But GodG2316, beingG1510 16richG4145 in mercyG1656, becauseG1223 of 17His greatG4183 loveG26 with whichG3739 He lovedG25 us,
5evenG2532 when we were 18deadG3498 19in our transgressionsG3900, madeG4806 us aliveG4806 togetherG4806 20with ChristG5547 (21by graceG5485 you have beenG1510 savedG4982),
6and 22raisedG4891 us up with Him, and 23seatedG4776 us with Him in 24the heavenlyG2032 places in 25ChristG5547 JesusG2424,
7soG2443 that in the agesG165 to comeG1904 He might showG1731 the surpassingG5235 26richesG4149 of His graceG5485 in 27kindnessG5544 towardG1909 us in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
8For 28by graceG5485 you have been savedG4982 29throughG1223 faithG4102; and 30that not of yourselvesG4771, it is 31the giftG1435 of GodG2316;
932not as a resultG1537 of worksG2041, soG2443 that 33noG3361 oneG5100 may boastG2744.
