Berean Standard Bible

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

Ephesians 2:8

Save as image

Study note

Ephesians 2 begins by describing humanity apart from Christ as spiritually dead, following the ways of the world. Then it turns decisively to God's great mercy, which made believers alive with Christ and raised them with him.
