2 ain which you once walked according to the1 course of this world, according to bthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in cthe sons of disobedience,
3 aamong whom also we all once conducted ourselves in bthe lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and cwere by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, awho is rich in mercy, because of His bgreat love with which He loved us,
5 aeven when we were dead in trespasses, bmade us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together ain the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in aHis kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 aFor by grace you have been saved bthrough faith, and that not of yourselves; cit is the gift of God,
9 not of aworks, lest anyone should bboast.
10 For we are aHis workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Brought Near by His Blood
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called athe Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—
12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
