Ephesians 2:5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Study Note
'Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)' — the parenthetical 'by grace ye are saved' interrupts the sentence to underscore the point: resurrection from spiritual death is not human achievement but divine gift. The Co- prefix words of Ephesians 2:5-6 (co-made-alive, co-raised, co-seated) reflect Paul's participatory soteriology — believers' resurrection and exaltation are grounded in their union with the resurrected and exalted Christ. Colossians 2:13 makes the same claim without the parenthetical, suggesting it was a settled formula in Pauline thought.
