And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
And you - you also, among those who have experienced His mighty power in enabling them to believe (Ephesians 1:19-23).
Hath he quickened. Supplied from the Greek, Ephesians 1:5.
Dead - spiritually (Colossians 2:13). A living corpse: without God's Spirit in the soul; so unable to think, will, or do anything that is holy.
In trespasses and sins - in them, as the element in which the unbeliever is, and through which he is dead to the true life. Sin is the death of the soul (Isaiah 9:2; John 5:25): "dead" (spiritually, 1 Timothy 5:6 1 Timothy 5:6; Ephesians 4:18). Greek, 'in your trespasses,' etc. 'Trespass' [paraptooma] expresses a particular FALL or LAPSE, such as that whereby Adam fell. 'Sin' х hamartia (G266)] is the general term, implying innate corruption and ALIENATION from God (literally, erring from, missing, the rule of truth), exhibited in acts of sin [Greek, hamarteemata (G265)]. Bengel refers "trespasses" to the Jews who had the law, yet revolted from it; "sins," to the Gentiles who know not God.
