Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ὅτι
that
The connecting word For introduces a reason-result relationship. The reason is that they were not part of the Jews, who were circumcised. The result is that the Gentile Ephesians were separated from God. Use a phrase in your language that connects a reason to a result.
χωρὶς Χριστοῦ
without Christ
Alternate translation: “unbelievers”
