Ephesians 2:1-6

CJB

NIV

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 You walked in the ways of the 'olam hazeh and obeyed the Ruler of the Powers of the Air, who is still at work among the disobedient.

4 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah - it is by grace that you have been delivered.
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven,
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
