By Grace Through Faith

2 And ^(A)you He made alive, ^(B)who were dead in trespasses and sins,

¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

^5 (A)even when we were dead in trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ⁶ and raised us up together, and made us sit together ^(C)in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Not Carnality but Christ

3 If then you were ^(A)raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, ^(B)where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the ^(C)earth. ^3 (D)For you died, ^(E)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ^4 (F)When Christ who is ^(G)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in ^(H)glory.

¹⁸ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the ^(A)blindness of their heart;

² For ^(A)the law of ^(B)the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from ^(C)the law of sin and death.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am ^(A)the resurrection and the life. ^(B)He who believes in Me, though he may ^(C)die, he shall live. ²⁶ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, ^(A)even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love ^[a]his brother abides in death.
