Bible verse for April 26

⁵ brought us to life together with Christ, even when we were dead through our trespasses—by grace you have been saved— ⁶ and he raised us up together with him and gave us a seat with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the ages that are coming he could display the overflowing wealth of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this does not come from you; it is God’s gift, ⁹ not from works, so that nobody can boast. ¹⁰ For we are what he has made, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared in advance, so that we would walk in them. ¹¹ So keep in mind that you were once Gentiles in the flesh—called “uncircumcision” by those called “circumcision,” a circumcision performed in the flesh by human hands— ¹² keep in mind that at that time you were apart from Christ, shut out of the commonwealth of Israel, outsiders to the covenants of the promise, with no hope and no God in the world. ¹³ But now, in Christ Jesus, you who used to be far off have come near through the blood of Christ.
