Ephesians 2:1-10 (ESV)

1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins

01.29.2012 25


2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—

01.29.2012 26


3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

01.29.2012 27


4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

01.29.2012 28


5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

01.29.2012 29


6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

01.29.2012 30


7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

01.29.2012 31


8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

01.29.2012 32


9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

01.29.2012 33


10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

01.29.2012 34


19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

01.29.2012 35


20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,

01.29.2012 36


21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

01.29.2012 37

01.29.2012 45
