‏ Ephesians 2:5

 Even when we were dead ( κα οντας ημας νεκρους ). Repeats the beginning of verse 1, but he changes  υμας (you Gentiles) to  ημας (us Jews).

 Quickened us together with Christ ( συνεζωοποιησεν τω Χριστω ). First aorist active indicative of the double compound verb  συνζωοποιεω as in Col 2:13 which see. Associative instrumental case in  Χριστω. Literal resurrection in the case of Jesus, spiritual in our case as pictured in baptism.

 By grace have ye been saved ( χαριτ εστε σεσωσμενο ). Instrumental case of  χαριτ and perfect passive periphrastic indicative of  σωζω. Parenthetical clause interjected in the sentence. All of grace because we were dead.
