Ephesians 2:5-13

English Standard Version

⁵ even ^(A)when we were dead in our trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ—^(C)by grace you have been saved— ⁶ and raised us up with him and ^(D)seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable ^(E)riches of his grace in ^(F)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For ^(G)by grace you have been saved ^(H)through faith. And this is ^(I)not your own doing; ^(J)it is the gift of God, ^9 (K)not a result of works, ^(L)so that no one may boast. ¹⁰ For ^(M)we are his workmanship, ^(N)created in Christ Jesus ^(O)for good works, ^(P)which God prepared beforehand, ^(Q)that we should walk in them.

One in Christ

¹¹ Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^(R)the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— ¹² remember ^(S)that you were at that time separated from Christ, ^(T)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^(U)the covenants of promise, ^(V)having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(W)far off have been brought near ^(X)by the blood of Christ.
