Consider the text more carefully though. You underlined the phrase "among whom" in your translation.Gods Elect or Christs Sheep, though they're never the children of the devil, or the children of disobedience, or the workers of iniquity which God hates, yet by nature they have a natural affinity with them, and are considered among them. Thats why Paul says of the elect that by nature they're children of wrath as others. Eph 2:3
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Much like the Beloved Prodigal Son, who while away from His Father, He was still a Son, but lived like and among them of the world Lk 15:11-24.
In the Gk. the text reads ἐν οἷς
The preposition ἐν is being followed by the relative pronoun οἷς with the dative case.
The actual meaning is "in whom". Not "among" but rather "in" just like it was translated six words later "in the lusts..." Gk: ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις" (the article+noun having the dative case) and like it was in v.2 where the lead in phrase is "ἐν αἷς ποτε" where ἐν is also followed by the dative.
The reason this is important is that believers were also once in the lusts of their flesh while being "in":
Eph 2:2 in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience,
We were "in", not simply "among" (as if being nearby) but rather "in" and "of the spirit" that works disobedience.
That's why all who work lawlessness (Psa 5:5) are said to be "hated" by God. The reason for this is that there is no difference between those who walk "in the flesh".
Eph 2:3 among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,
The wrath of God is against the flesh that works lawlessness, not the spirit of man (the breath of life). All human beings, both believers and non-believers alike, are "loved" (according to the spirit) and "hated" (according to the flesh).
I know that this does not sit well with Calvin's theology, but it is what it is.
