in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
