Study Note
The catalogue of vices — foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to passions, malice, envy, hateful — describes the pre-conversion condition of Paul's addressees, anchoring the subsequent grace-declaration (verses 4-7) in the contrast of 'then' and 'now.' The rhetorical move prevents a moralistic reading of Christian ethics: the 'once we were' reminds believers that their transformation is entirely a gift. Ephesians 2:1-5 employs the same contrast structure ('dead in sins... but God'), and both passages inform the Christian understanding of conversion as rescue rather than self-improvement.
