⁵ even when we were ^(A)dead ^[a]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together ^[b]with Christ (^(B)by grace you have been saved),

⁸ For ^(A)by grace you have been saved ^(B)through faith; and ^[a]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(C)the gift of God; ^9 (D)not a result of works, so that ^(E)no one may boast.

²⁰ Therefore, we are ^(A)ambassadors for Christ, ^(B)as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be ^(C)reconciled to God.

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^[a](A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from the wrath of God through Him. ¹⁰ For if while we were ^(C)enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved ^[b](D)by His life. ^11 (E)And not only this, but ^[c]we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(F)the reconciliation.
