But because of his great love for us,
God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ
even when we were dead in transgressions
—it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:4-5

But now in Christ Jesus
you who once were far away
have been brought near
through the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13
