ACC ~ Ephesians 2 v2a

THE COURSE OF THIS WORLD. TERTULLIAN: “Once you followed the course of this world.” World here is completely distinguishable from God. For the creature is unlike the Creator, the artifact unlike its Maker, the world unlike God. Similarly when Paul speaks of those who “follow the prince of the power of the air” he is referring not to the one God who holds sway over all the ages. For the one who presides over higher authorities is never classified by reference to one lower. AGAINST MARCION 5.17.7-8.
