Study Note
The description of the pre-conversion state as living 'in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind' extends the scope of the problem from behavior to nature. The phrase 'children of wrath by nature' (tekna physei orgēs) has been a central text in the Augustinian doctrine of original sin and the inherited fallenness of human nature. Importantly, the 'we' of verse 3 includes Jewish believers alongside the Gentiles of verse 2, refusing any ethnic exemption from the universal condition of fallenness. The dramatic 'but God' of verse 4 — introducing mercy and love as the divine response to wrath-deserving nature — is one of the great theological reversals in Pauline literature.
