Efesus 2:5-7

2:5 even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved! ¹  – 2:6 and he raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 2:7 to demonstrate in the coming ages ²  the surpassing wealth of his grace in kindness toward ³  us in Christ Jesus.

[2:5]  ¹ tn Or “by grace you have been saved.” The perfect tense in Greek connotes both completed action (“you have been saved”) and continuing results (“you are saved”).

[2:7]  ² tn Or possibly “to the Aeons who are about to come.”

[2:7]  ³ tn Or “upon.”
