Ephesians 2:4-9
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! –
2:6 and he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
2:7 to demonstrate in the coming ages the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
2:9 it is not from works, so that no one can boast.
