ACV(i)
1 Even you, who were dead in trespasses and sins
2 in which ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience.
3 Among whom we also all once behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the others.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us,
5 even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace),
6 and raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly things in Christ Jesus.
7 So that in the coming ages he might show the transcending wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you,
9 not from works, so that not any man may boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God preordained that we should walk in them.
11 Remember therefore that once ye, the Gentiles in flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision (in flesh, made by hands),
12 that ye were at that time independent of Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and alien of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and godless in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye, being formerly far off, became near in the blood of the Christ.
