Matthew Poole and continuators on Ephesians 2:1

1 AND you hath he quickned that were dead , in trespasses and sins .

This Verb quickned is not in the Greek, but the defect of it may be supplied from Chap. 1. verse 19. thus, The greatness of his power to us-ward, and to you that were dead in trespasses and sins, the remaining part of that Chapter being included in a Parenthesis, which though long, yet is not unusual. Or rather, as our Translators and others doe from verse 5. of this Chapter, where we have the word quickned. It imports a restoring of Spiritual Life by the infusion of a vital principle (in the work of Regeneration) whereby men are enabled to walk with God in newness of Life.

Spiritually, not Naturally; i. e. destitute of a principle of spiritual life, and so of any ability for, or diposedness to the operations and motions of such a life.

The Preposition in is wanting in the Greek by an Ellipsis, but the expression is Full, Col. 2.13. this Dative Case therefore is to be taken in the sense of the Ablative. By these words he means either all sorts of sins habitual and actual, less or greater; or rather promiscuously and indifferently the same thing several ways expressed. Sin is the cause of Spiritual Death; where Sin Reigns, there is a privation of Spiritual Life.
