In context
AI-assisted, sourcedEphesians 2:1-10Saved by grace through faith
About Ephesians 2Paul reminds the readers that they were "dead in trespasses and sins" and "by nature the children of wrath," but "God, who is rich in mercy," has "quickened us together with Christ." "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast," yet "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works." Gentiles once "without God in the world" are "made nigh by the blood of Christ," for Christ "hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition," so they are now "fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God."
