1 You too were dead because of the shortcomings and sins
2 in which you once lived in accordance with the spirit of this present world, and the mighty prince of the air, who is always at work in the disobedient, among whom all of us, we Jews as well as you heathen,
3 once lived while gratifying the cravings of our lower nature, as we continued to carry out the impulses of our lower nature and its thoughts, and by nature we were exposed to God's wrath, as the rest of mankind.
4 But God, who is so rich in mercy on account of the great love He has for us,
5 has made us, though dead because of our shortcomings, live again in fellowship with Christ -- it is by His unmerited favor that you have been saved.
6 And He raised us with Him and through union with Christ Jesus He made us sit down with Him in the heavenly realm,
7 to show, throughout the coming ages, the boundless generosity of His unmerited favor shown us in His goodness to us through Christ Jesus.
8 For it is by His unmerited favor through faith that you have been saved; it is not by anything that you have done, it is the gift of God.
9 It is not the result of what anyone can do, so that no one can boast of it.
10 For He has made us what we are, because He has created us through our union with Christ Jesus for doing good deeds which He beforehand planned for us to do.
