The Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians   2: 4-10

2:4 Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us,
2:5 even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved.
2:6 And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,
2:7 so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus.
2:8 For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.
2:9 And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.
2:10 For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.
