Ephesians 2:1-7

1And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

3among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

4But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
