Ephesians
Ephesians describes a former condition as being “dead in the trespasses and sins” in which people once walked. It links that life to following “the course of this world” and “the prince of the power of the air.” See Ephesians 2:1–3.
1You were made alive when you were dead through your trespasses and sins,
2in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience;
3among 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.
