Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted object phrase kai hymas nekrous ontas {καὶ ὑμᾶς νεκροὺς ὄντας | kaì hūmâs nekròus óntas}, where the participle ontas modifies hymas and presents the Colossians’ prior condition as an ongoing state of “being dead.” This accusative participial phrase stands before the main verb to highlight the contrast between former death and new life.
In context — Colossians 2:13
And you, who were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all the trespasses .
