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,

The Incomparable Christ

^13 [a]For He rescued us from the ^[b](A)domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of ^[c](B)His beloved Son,

¹¹ and in Him ^(A)you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands, in the removal of ^(B)the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ, ¹² having been ^(C)buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also ^(D)raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who ^(E)raised Him from the dead.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(A)I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that ^(B)where I am, there you also will be.

²⁴ Father, I desire that ^(A)they also, whom You have given Me, ^(B)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ^(C)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ^(D)the foundation of the world.

¹⁴ knowing that He who ^(A)raised the Lord Jesus ^(B)will also raise us with Jesus, and will ^(C)present us with you.

Put On the New Self

3 Therefore, if you have been ^(A)raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, ^(B)seated at the right hand of God.
