Read Ephesians 2.1-10
In Ephesians 2.1-22: God's reconciling grace.
God saves humankind from enemy powers and Christ ends the enmity between Jews and gentiles.
In verses 1-10: Contrast between past walk (vv. 1-3) and present walk (4-10).
In verse 2; Lived literally "walked," connects the former walk (2.2) and the new way of walking in 2.10 (see 4.1, 17; 5.2, 8, 15).
Ruler of the power of the air, Satan (4.27; 6.11-12).
In verse 3: Flesh, fleshly disposition.
In verses 5-6: By grace you have been saved, similar to Paul's language elsewhere, but he never views resurrection of believers as a present reality.
In verse 10: The good works of that the community does are possible because God created them in Christ.
The life they lead is the way (literally "walk," v. 1) God has made possible.
