NASB | Ephesians 2:3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |

Bible Note: Dear NC, Eph 2:3,4 identifies as "us" being the objects of mercy. Context cannot be ignored just because we find a doctrine offensive to our human sensibilities. All that God has done is holy and just. I'll stick with the plain and simple reading of the chapter. Got to go, John |
