By Grace Through Faith

1 iAnd you were jdead in the trespasses and sins 2 kin which you once walked, following the course of this world, following lthe prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in mthe sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in nthe passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body ▼

 and the mind, and pwere by nature qchildren of wrath, like the rest of mankind. ▼
