Ephesians 2:1-9

1And you did he quicken, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,

2wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;

3among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—

4but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

6and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:

7that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

8for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9not of works, that no man should glory.
