Ephesians 2:1-3

1And 1you 2were 3dead 4in your offenses and sins,

2in which you 5previously walked according to the 6course of 7this world, according to 8the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in 9the 10sons of disobedience.

3Among them 11we too all 12previously lived in 13the lusts of our flesh, 14indulging the desires of the flesh and of the 15mind, and were 16by nature 17children of wrath, 18just as the rest.
