Ephesians 2:1-5

1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2
in
which you used to live when you followed the ways of this
world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is
now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the
cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like
the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in
mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our
transgressions
