Ephesians 2:3-9

Christian Standard Bible

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! ⁶ He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,^{(H) 7} so that in the coming ages^(I) he might display the immeasurable riches^(J) of his grace through his kindness^(K) to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For you are saved by grace^(L) through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— ⁹ not from works, so that no one can boast.
