4But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

5even when we were dead in our trespasses, he made us alive together with Messiah—by grace you have been saved—

6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7so that in the coming ages he might display the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God.

9not from works, so that no one may boast.

10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we might walk in them.
