Ephesians
2:1-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

By Grace Through Faith
2 And you He
made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now
works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children
of wrath, just as the others.
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 trespasses, made
us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made
us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come
He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward 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,
lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
