Ephesians 2:1-5

MLV(i) 1 Even you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you previously walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which now is working in the sons of disobedience; 3 among whom we also all conducted ourselves previously in the lusts of our flesh, practicing the wills of the flesh and of the mind and we were children of wrath by nature, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his much love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, he made us alive together with the Christ; you are saved in his grace.
