1 Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins,

2 in which once you did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,

3 among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,

4 and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 even being dead in the trespasses, made us to live together with the Christ, (by grace you are having been saved,)

6 and raised us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding superb riches of His grace in kindness goodness toward us in Christ Jesus,

8 for by grace you are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

9 not of works, that no one may boast;
