Ephesians 2:1-8

And you hath he quickened (made alive), who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation (manner of life) in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace (His unmerited favor & enabling) in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

For by grace (God’s enabling) are ye saved through faith (a firm persuasion or conviction based on the Word of God) ; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Ephesians 2:1-8

…let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…
