Ephesians 1:15-2:10

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵ For this reason I too, ^(A)having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and ^[a]your love for ^(B)all the ^[b]saints, ^16 (C)do not cease giving thanks for you, ^(D)while making mention of you in my prayers; ¹⁷ that the ^(E)God of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(F)the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of ^(G)wisdom and of ^(H)revelation in the ^[c]knowledge of Him. ¹⁸ I pray that ^(I)the eyes of your heart ^[d]may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the ^(J)hope of His ^(K)calling, what are ^(L)the riches of the glory of ^(M)His inheritance in ^(N)the ^[e]saints, ¹⁹ and what is the ^[f]boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe. ^(O)These are in accordance with the working of the ^(P)strength of His might ²⁰ which He brought about in Christ, when He ^(Q)raised Him from the dead and ^(R)seated Him at His right hand in ^(S)the heavenly places, ²¹ far above ^(T)all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every ^(U)name that is named, not only in ^(V)this age but also in the one to come. ²² And He ^(W)put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him ^(X)head over all things to the church, ²³ which is His ^(Y)body, the ^(Z)fullness of Him who ^(AA)fills ^(AB)all in all.

Made Alive in Christ

2 And ^[g]you ^[h]were ^(AC)dead ^[i]in your offenses and sins, ² in which you ^(AD)previously walked according to the ^[j]course of ^(AE)this world, according to ^(AF)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(AG)the ^[k]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[l]we too all ^(AH)previously lived in ^(AI)the lusts of our flesh, ^[m]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[n]mind, and were ^(AJ)by nature ^(AK)children of wrath, ^(AL)just as the rest. ⁴ But God, being ^(AM)rich in mercy, because of ^(AN)His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even when we were ^(AO)dead ^[o]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together ^[p]with Christ (^(AP)by grace you have been saved), ⁶ and ^(AQ)raised us up with Him, and ^(AR)seated us with Him in ^(AS)the heavenly places in ^(AT)Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the ages to come He might show the ^[q]boundless ^(AU)riches of His grace in ^(AV)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For ^(AW)by grace you have been saved ^(AX)through faith; and ^[r]this is not of yourselves, it is ^(AY)the gift of God; ^9 (AZ)not a result of works, so that ^(BA)no one may boast. ¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, ^(BB)created in ^(BC)Christ Jesus for ^(BD)good works, which God ^(BE)prepared beforehand so that we would ^(BF)walk in them.
