Ephesians 2:5-12

New American Standard Bible

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), ⁶ and ^(C)raised us up with Him, and ^(D)seated us with Him in ^(E)the heavenly places in ^(F)Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the ages to come He might show the ^[c]boundless ^(G)riches of His grace in ^(H)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For ^(I)by grace you have been saved ^(J)through faith; and ^[d]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(K)the gift of God; ^9 (L)not a result of works, so that ^(M)no one may boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, ^(N)created in ^(O)Christ Jesus for ^(P)good works, which God ^(Q)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(R)walk in them.

¹¹ Therefore remember that ^(S)previously ^(T)you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “^(U)Uncircumcision” by the so-called “^(V)Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— ¹² remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, ^[e](W)excluded from ^[f]the people of Israel, and strangers to ^(X)the covenants of the promise, having ^(Y)no hope and ^(Z)without God in the world.
