1. You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
2. in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience;
3. amongst whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
4. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
5. even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah (by grace you have been saved),
6. and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua,
7. that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Messiah Yeshua;
8. for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
