Ephesians 2:1-10 - Made Alive In Christ

¹ And you hath he quickened also, that were dead in trespass and sin: ² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief, ³ among which we also had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of our flesh, and fulfilled the will of the flesh, and of the mind: and were naturally the children of wrath, even as well as others. ⁴ But God, which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ - for by grace are ye saved - ⁶ and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus. ⁷ For to show, in times to come, the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to us ward, in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that, not of yourselves: For it is the gift of God, ⁹ and cometh not of works, lest any man should boast himself. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

⁶ As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, even so walk rooted and built in him, ⁷ and steadfast in the faith, as ye have learned: and therein be plenteous in giving thanks.

⁸ Beware lest any man come and spoil you through philosophy and deceitful vanity, through the traditions of men, and ordinances after the world, and not after Christ. ⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, ¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, which is the head of all rule and power. ¹¹ In whom also ye are circumcised with circumcision made without hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh, through the circumcision that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with him through baptism, in whom ye are also risen again through faith, that is wrought by the operation of God which raised him from death. ¹³ And ye which were dead in sin through the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him and hath forgiven us all our trespasses ¹⁴ and hath put out the handwriting that was against us, contained in the law written, and that hath he taken out of the way, and hath fastened it to his cross, ¹⁵ and hath spoiled rule and power, and hath made a show of them openly, and hath triumphed over them in his own person.
