And you has he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins:
All Commentaries on Ephesians 2:1 Go To Ephesians 2
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
He enlivened you, when you were dead. These words, he enlivened or restored to life, are necessary to express the literal sense and construction, as appears from the following fifth verse. by what is here translated offences, are commonly understood trespasses less grievous than by the word sins. (Witham)
God hath quickened you, or restored you to life; these words, expressed in ver. 5, are understood in this: in some editions they are expressed. (Bible de Vence)
