“And you were dead in the trespasses and sin in which you once walked, following the course of the world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience… But God, being rich in Mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.”
Ephesians 2:1, 4-5
