Ephesians 2:1-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
This Power Made Us Alive From The Dead And Seated Us With Christ As Recipients of Grace
2 Indeed, you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you formerly walked in accordance with the [present] age[a] of this world, in accordance with the ruler of the authority[b] of the air, of [c] the spirit[d] now being at-work in the sons of [e] disobedience, 3 among whom even we all formerly conducted-ourselves[f] in the desires of our flesh, doing the wants[g] of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of [h] wrath, as also the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even we being dead in trespasses, made-us-alive-with Christ— by grace you are saved— 6 and raised-us-with Him and seated-us-with Him in the heavenly-places in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that He might demonstrate[i] in the coming ages[j] the surpassing riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
