“In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.”
In these you too once walked, when you lived in them — 'Once walked' (peripatēō pote) recalls their pre-conversion state. 'When you lived in them' (zaō en autois) shows enslavement: these vices were life-context. The past tense absolves the present: they are no longer captive. Yet memory serves warning.
