Connecting Statement:
Paul reminds the believers of their past and the way they now are before God.
you were dead in your trespasses and sins
This shows how sinful people are unable to obey God in the same way a dead person is unable to respond physically. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
your trespasses and sins
The words "trespasses" and "sins" have similar meanings. Paul uses them together to emphasize the greatness of the people's sin. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
