Ephesians 2:12

Jewish And Gentile Believers United In Christ

¹¹ Remember that you were once people of the nations in the flesh. You are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision, in the flesh, made by human hands. ¹² remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ You were once far off but now with Christ Jesus, the blood of Christ has brought you near.
