Ephesians 1:19--2:5
1:19 and what is the incomparable
greatness of his power toward
us who believe, as displayed in
the exercise of his immense strength.
1:20 This power
he exercised
in Christ when he raised him
from the dead and seated him
at his right hand in the heavenly realms
1:21 far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
1:22 And God
put all things under Christ’s
feet,
and he gave him to the church as head over all things.
1:23 Now the church is
his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
New Life Individually
2:1 And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2:2 in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience,
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…
2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
2:5 even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved! –
