Ephesians 2:1-10

Riverside(i) 1 YOU also God raised to life when you were dead in misdeeds and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the ways of this age of the world, led by the Ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among these we all lived once in the passions of our flesh and of our thoughts, and we were by nature children of wrath like the rest. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in misdeeds, made us alive along with Christ — by grace we have been saved — 6 and raised us up with him and made us sit with him in the heavenly heights in Christ Jesus, 7 that he might show in the ages to come the surpassing richness of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, that no one may boast. 10 For we are his work, formed in Christ Jesus for good works in which God had prepared beforehand to have us live.
