# 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]])
