Ephesians 2:3-10 amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others. ⁴ But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved;) ⁶ and has raised us up together, and has set us down together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus; ⁷ that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God- ⁹ not by works, that no one may boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, for which God before prepared us, that we should walk in them.
