¹ And you ^(a)were ^(A)dead ^(b)in your trespasses and sins,

¹ And you were dead^(A) in your trespasses and sins

¹ You used to be dead because of your offenses and sins

³ among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

³ Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

³ Among them we too all ^(F)formerly lived in ^(G)the lusts of our flesh, ^(d)indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^(e)mind, and were ^(H)by nature ^(I)children of wrath, ^(J)even as the rest.

³ We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly^(E) desires, carrying out the inclinations^(F) of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath^(G) as the others were also.

³ Indeed, all of us once behaved like them in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of our flesh and senses. By nature we were destined for wrath, just like everyone else.
