which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places ,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

and put all things in subjection under his feet, and made him head over all things to the church,

even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace—His undeserved favor and mercy—you have been saved from God’s judgment).

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God;

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

in whom ye also are built together, and made a habitation for God in the spirit.

And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.
