“That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:”
Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world — the five-fold deprivation: choris Christou ('apart from Christ'), xenoi tōn diathēkōn ('strangers to the covenants'), elpis ('hope') absent, atheoi ('without God'), the cosmic alienation of pagan existence.
