1 And a you He made alive, b who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 c in which you once walked according to the 1 course of this world, according to d the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in e the sons of disobedience, 3 f among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in g the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and h were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, i who is rich in mercy, because of His j great love with which He loved us, 5 k even when we were dead in trespasses, l made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together m in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in n His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 o For by grace you have been saved p through faith, and that not of yourselves; q it is the gift of God, 9 not of r works, lest anyone should s boast. 10 For we are t His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
