爾昔生於斯、亦嘗出入其間也、

爾生於其間、曾行之、

昔爾生於罪惡中、亦曾行之、

You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.

That’s the way you lived at one time in your life.

In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.

You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.

and you once walked in these things when you were living in them.

and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.

in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.

wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;

and you once walked in these things when you were living in them.

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

You also lived your lives in this way at one time, when you used to live among them.

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (niv)

At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. (niv)

For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. (niv)

When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, (niv)
