Ephesians 2:1

And Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma; and Yahweh said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.

for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.

even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

being darkened in their mind, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart.

For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.”

And you being dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive with Him, having graciously forgiven us all our transgressions.
