4
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
5
Even when we were dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)
6
And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7
That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
