Ephesians 2:3

Among these we all (each one) also lived (were, dwelt) once in the desires (lusts) of our flesh (our fallen old nature), when we [constantly] did what the flesh and thoughts wanted (literally: "when we did the will of the flesh and its thoughts," i.e., obeyed the impulses of the body and mind). We were by nature [from birth] children of wrath – [we] like the others ...
[We were in our natural sinful state on our way to punishment – God's wrath against sin – like the rest of humanity.]
