Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

da wir tot waren in den Sünden, hat er uns samt Christo lebendig gemacht (denn aus Gnade seid ihr selig geworden)
Aun estando nosotros muertos en pecados, nos dio vida juntamente con Cristo; por gracia sois salvos;
aun estando nosotros muertos en las transgresiones, nos dio vida junto con Cristo —por gracia son salvos—,
nous qui étions morts par nos offenses, nous a rendus à la vie avec Christ c'est par grâce que vous êtes sauvés);
eziandio mentre eravamo morti ne’ falli, ci ha vivificati in Cristo voi siete salvati per grazia;
Estando nós ainda mortos em nossas ofensas, nos vivificou juntamente com Cristo (pela graça sois salvos),
竟在我們因過犯而死了的時候,使我們與基督一同活過來—可見你們得救是本乎恩—
