Ephesians 2:5-10 he made us, dead as we were through our offenses, live again with the Christ. It is by his mercy that you have been saved.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ he made us, dead as we were through our offenses, live again with the Christ. It is by his mercy that you have been saved. ⁶ And he raised us with Christ, and through our union with Christ Jesus made us sit down with him in heaven, ⁷ to show the incomparable wealth of his mercy throughout the ages to come by his goodness to us through Christ Jesus. ⁸ For it is by his mercy that you have been saved through faith. It is not by your own action, it is the gift of God. ⁹ It has not been earned, so that no one can boast of it. ¹⁰ For he has made us, creating us through our union with Christ Jesus for the life of goodness which God had predestined us to live.
