Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
Greek
is ὔθεος, literally “without
God
,” and so translated in
Ephesians 2:12
12
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: (Ephesians 2:12)
. It is
used
as a description of
Gentiles
as such by
nature
, and true of
all
the
heathen
world
in their ignorance of God: not, as the term is now used, namely, one who willfully refuses to acknowledge God’s existence.
