Verse 3 is a good description of what we were before Jesus saved us.
Foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by passions & pleasures.
Verse 5 describes God's grace (favor).
He saved us not because of righteous things we have done but because of his mercy & love.
How? By the washing of rebirth & renewal by the Holy Spirit , poured out generously thru Jesus.
"Lord thank you for loving me enough to open my eyes to the deceit I was foolishly believing , then calling me to be washed by a rebirth of the Holy Spirit.
You delivered me from enslavement to passions & pleasures. You renewed me w/ holy desires.
It's only because of Your mercy that I have inherited a heavenly estate."
