1 And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children of disobedience:
3 among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God being rich in mercy, through his great love wherewith He loved us,
5 hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,
6 and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
7 That in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:
9 for we are his workmanship,
10 created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember that ye were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;
12 and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus,
13 ye, who were formerly afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
