Ephesians 2:8-12

New American Standard Bible

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. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, ^(F)created in ^(G)Christ Jesus for ^(H)good works, which God ^(I)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(J)walk in them.

¹¹ Therefore remember that ^(K)previously ^(L)you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “^(M)Uncircumcision” by the so-called “^(N)Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— ¹² remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, ^[b](O)excluded from ^[c]the people of Israel, and strangers to ^(P)the covenants of the promise, having ^(Q)no hope and ^(R)without God in the world.
