5 Even when we were dead in our trespasses, He made us alive together with Messiah. (By grace you have been saved!)
6 And He raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua—
7 to show in the olam ha-ba the measureless richness of His grace in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves—it is the gift of God.
9 It is not based on deeds, so that no one may boast.
10 For we are His workmanship—created in Messiah Yeshua for good deeds, which God prepared beforehand so we might walk in them.
11 Therefore, keep in mind that once you—Gentiles in the flesh—were called “uncircumcision” by those called “circumcision” (which is performed on flesh by hand).
