Ephesians 2:1-101 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions andsins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed theways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of
the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who aredisobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at onetime, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature andfollowing its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, wewere by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of hisgreat love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made usalive with Christ even when we were dead intransgressions--it is by grace you have been saved.
