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, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6. And hath 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 towards us, through Christ Jesus.
8. For by grace are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not by works, lest any man should boast.
