Ephesians 2:1-3

Made Alive by Grace and Made One in Christ

Paul moves from spiritual death to resurrection life by grace, then from covenant alienation to reconciled unity in Christ's one new people.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

3 All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
