Ephesians 2:1-7

RHE

NIV

1 And you, when you were dead in your offences and sins,
1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief:
2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ (by whose grace you are saved)
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And hath raised us up together and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus.
7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
