Ephesians 2:4-10
New American Standard Bible
4 But God, being (A)rich in mercy, because of (B)His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were (C)dead [a]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together [b]with Christ ((D)by grace you have been saved), 6 and (E)raised us up with Him, and (F)seated us with Him in (G)the heavenly places in (H)Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the [c]boundless (I)riches of His grace in (J)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For (K)by grace you have been saved (L)through faith; and [d]this is not of yourselves, it is (M)the gift of God; 9 (N)not a result of works, so that (O)no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, (P)created in (Q)Christ Jesus for (R)good works, which God (S)prepared beforehand so that we would (T)walk in them.

New International Version
4 But because of his great love for us,(A) God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions(B)—it is by grace you have been saved.(C) 6 And God raised us up with Christ(D) and seated us with him(E) in the heavenly realms(F) in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace,(G) expressed in his kindness(H) to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace(I) you have been saved,(J) through faith(K)—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works,(L) so that no one can boast.(M) 10 For we are God’s handiwork,(N) created(O) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(P) which God prepared in advance for us to do.
