³² It was right that we should make merry and be glad, ^(A)for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”

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),

By Grace Through Faith

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

⁶ But she who lives in ^[a]pleasure is dead while she lives.

^21 (F)Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, ²² and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
