“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;”
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins — the declaration nekroi ('dead') uses spiritual language: the Gentile converts were dead not physically but in the domain of sin (paraptōmata, 'transgressions,' and hamartiai, 'sins'), spiritually inert before encountering Christ, cut off from the life of God.
