Ephesians 2:1-10

New King James Version

By Grace Through Faith

2 And ^(A)you He made alive, ^(B)who were dead in trespasses and sins, ²^(C)in which you once walked according to the ^[a]course of this world, according to ^(D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in ^(E)the sons of disobedience, ³^(F)among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and ^(H)were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

⁴But God, ^(I)who is rich in mercy, because of His ^(J)great love with which He loved us, ⁵^(K)even when we were dead in trespasses, ^(L)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ⁶and raised us up together, and made us sit together ^(M)in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in ^(N)His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸^(O)For by grace you have been saved ^(P)through faith, and that not of yourselves; ^(Q)it is the gift of God, ⁹not of ^(R)works, lest anyone should ^(S)boast. ¹⁰For we are ^(T)His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
