EPH 2:5

5 As a result, even when we were ◄[spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is► because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
