4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,

5 caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–

6 raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,

7 in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace.
