Ephesians 2:4
NASB
Eph 2:4
&
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Eph 2:5
&
even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together (Two early mss read {in Christ}) with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Eph 2:6
&
and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly {places} in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7
&
so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8
&
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, {it is} the gift of God;
Eph 2:9
&
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
