Ephesians 2:5

Even when we were dead (kai ontav hmav nekrouv). Repeats the beginning of verse Ephesians 2:1, but he changes umav (you Gentiles) to hmav (us Jews).

Quickened us together with Christ (sunezwopoihsen tw Xristw). First aorist active indicative of the double compound verb sunzwopoiew as in Colossians 2:13 which see. Associative instrumental case in Xristw. Literal resurrection in the case of Jesus, spiritual in our case as pictured in baptism.

By grace have ye been saved (xariti este seswsmenoi). Instrumental case of xariti and perfect passive periphrastic indicative of swzw. Parenthetical clause interjected in the sentence. All of grace because we were dead.
