Ephesians 2:4-13

4But GodG2316, beingG1510 1richG4145 in mercyG1656, becauseG1223 of 2His greatG4183 loveG26 with whichG3739 He lovedG25 us, 5evenG2532 when we were 3deadG3498 4in our transgressionsG3900, madeG4806 us aliveG4806 togetherG4806 5with ChristG5547 (6by graceG5485 you have beenG1510 savedG4982), 6and 7raisedG4891 us up with Him, and 8seatedG4776 us with Him in 9the heavenlyG2032 places in 10ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 7soG2443 that in the agesG165 to comeG1904 He might showG1731 the surpassingG5235 11richesG4149 of His graceG5485 in 12kindnessG5544 towardG1909 us in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 8For 13by graceG5485 you have been savedG4982 14throughG1223 faithG4102; and 15that not of yourselvesG4771, it is 16the giftG1435 of GodG2316; 917not as a resultG1537 of worksG2041, soG2443 that 18noG3361 oneG5100 may boastG2744. 10For we are His workmanshipG4161, 19createdG2936 in 20ChristG5547 JesusG2424 for 21goodG18 worksG2041, whichG3739 GodG2316 22preparedG4282 beforehandG4282 soG2443 that we would 23walkG4043 in them.

11ThereforeG1352 rememberG3421 that 24formerlyG4218 25you, the GentilesG1484 in the fleshG4561, who are calledG3004 “26UncircumcisionG203” by the so-calledG3004 “27CircumcisionG4061,” which is performedG5499 in the fleshG4561 by humanG5499 handsG5499-- 12remember that you were at that timeG2540 separateG5565 from ChristG5547, 2829excludedG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, and strangersG3581 to 30the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 31noG3361 hopeG1680 and 32withoutG112 GodG112 in the worldG2889. 13But nowG3570 in 33ChristG5547 JesusG2424 you whoG3739 34formerlyG4218 were 35farG3112 offG3112 36have 37beenG1096 broughtG1096 nearG1451 3839by the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
