3 We all once lived in the lust of our flesh, indulging the desires lusts of the flesh and of the mind. We were by nature children of anger and violent passion, like everyone else.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. For by grace loving-kindness you have been saved.
