Eph. 2:1‑13• 1and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins--
 2in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience:
 3among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:
 4but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
 5(we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)
 6and has raised us up together, and has made us sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
 7that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
 8For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
 9not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
 10For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
 11Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in the flesh done with the hand;
 12that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
 13but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ. (Eph. 2:1‑13)
