²⁵ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^(A)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^(A)hear His voice

¹⁴ Therefore He says:

^5 (A)even when we were dead in trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will ^(A)worship the Father in ^(B)spirit ^(C)and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

The Dead Church

3 “And to the ^[a]angel of the church in Sardis write,

‘These things says He who ^(A)has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.

^47 (A)He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

¹³ And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses,

By Grace Through Faith

2 And ^(A)you He made alive, ^(B)who were dead in trespasses and sins,

⁴ Therefore we were ^(A)buried with Him through baptism into death, that ^(B)just as Christ was raised from the dead by ^(C)the glory of the Father, ^(D)even so we also should walk in newness of life.
