like one of your hired workers.”’

Ephesians 2:3-5
2:3 among whom
all of us
also
formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath
even as the rest…

2:5 even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved! –

according to this world’s present path,

the spirit
that is now energizing
the sons of disobedience,

2:1 And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

3:5 he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,

through Jesus Christ our Savior.
3:7 And so,
since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.”
