Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Yet God, in his abundant compassion, and because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ Even though we were 'dead' because of our offenses, gave Life to us in giving Life to the Christ. (By God's loving-kindness you have been saved.) ⁶ And, through our union with Christ Jesus, God raised us with him, and caused us to sit with him on high, ⁷ In order that, by his goodness to us in Christ Jesus, he might display in the ages to come the boundless wealth of his loving- kindness. ⁸ For it is by God's loving-kindness that you have been saved, through your faith. It is not due to yourselves; the gift is God's.
