Among whom also we all had our conversation (conduct) in times past in the lusts (desires) of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4.

And has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
