Ephesians 2:11-18 Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,)

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,) ¹² were in the world at that time, without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the institutions of promise; having no hope, and without God: ¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation; ¹⁵ having abolished, by his flesh, the enmity, (the law of the commandments concerning ordinances,) that he might make the two into one new man, under himself, making peace: ¹⁶ and might reconcile both to God, in one body, through the cross; having slain the enmity by it. ¹⁷ And, having come, he brought good news of peace to you, the far off-to us, the nigh: ¹⁸ that, through him, we both have introduction to the Father, by one Spirit.
