Ephesians 2:1-3 English Standard Version
By Grace Through Faith
2 (A)And you were (B)dead in the trespasses and sins 2 (C)in which you once walked, following the course[a] of this world, following (D)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in (E)the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in (F)the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and (G)were by nature (H)children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.[b]
