11. And you,




One thing I got.


Eph. 2:1 And you, though dead in your offenses and sins,
2 In which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which is now operating in the sons of disobedience;



Paul says, and you, in 2:1
It shows as br. Lee said, a continuation from the previous verse.
Paul continues to speak about the "all in all". And "you" the gobjective weg are one of the constituent of "all in all" of whom he is now going to speak.

This description is same as Colossians. A parallel description.(see Table 1)
(see also 3. All the fullness)

(Table 1)

Ephesians
Colossians
1:22 And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him to be Head over all things to the church,
1:23 Which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.




2:1 And you, though dead in your offenses and sins,
2:2 In which you once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit which is now operating in the sons of disobedience;
2:3 Among whom we also all conducted ourselves once in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest;
1:19 For in Him all the fullness was pleased to dwell
1:20 And through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross -- through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.









1:21 And you, though once alienated and enemies in your mind because of your evil works,


Col.1:21 says that the constituent of all the fullnes the gobjective weg were once in the days of their old man(Rom.6:6), alienated and enemies in their mind because of their evil works.

Similarly, Eph.2:1-3 say their sinful situation of the gobjective weg@in more detail than Colossians.
