³ We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly^(A) desires, carrying out the inclinations^(B) of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath^(C) as the others were also. ⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy,^(D) because of his great love^(E) that he had for us,^{[a] 5} made us alive^(F) with Christ even though we were dead^(G) in trespasses. You are saved by grace!
