NASB — Ephesians 2 — KJV

Made Alive in Christ

1 And you Iwere adead° IIin your trespasses° and sins°, 2 in which° you aformerly° walked° according° to the Icourse° of bthis° world°, according° to cthe prince° of the power° of the air°, of the spirit° that is now° working° in dthe sons° of disobedience°. 3 Among° them we too° all° aformerly° lived° in bthe lusts° of our flesh°, Iindulging° the desires° of the flesh° and of the IImind°, and were cby nature° dchildren° of wrath°, eeven° as the rest°. 4 But God°, being° arich° in mercy°, because° of bHis great° love° with which° He loved° us, 5 even° when we were adead° Iin our transgressions°, made° us alive° together° IIwith Christ° (bby grace° you have been° saved°), 6 and araised° us up with Him, and bseated° us with Him in cthe heavenly° [places] in dChrist° Jesus°, 7 so° that in the ages° to come° He might show° the surpassing° ariches° of His grace° in bkindness° toward° us in Christ° Jesus°. 8 For aby grace° you have been saved° bthrough° faith°; and Ithat not of yourselves°, [it is] cthe gift° of God°; 9 anot as a result° of works°, so° that bno° one° may boast°. 10 For we are His workmanship°, acreated° in bChrist° Jesus° for cgood° works°, which° God° dprepared° beforehand° so° that we would ewalk° in them.
