Ephesians 2:11-14

11Therefore remember that 1formerly 2you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “3Uncircumcision” by the so-called “4Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

12remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, 5 6excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to 7the covenants of promise, having 8no hope and 9without God in the world.

13But now in 10Christ Jesus you who 11formerly were 12far off 13have 14been brought near 15 16by the blood of Christ.

14For He Himself is 17our peace, 18who made both groups into one and broke down the 19barrier of the dividing wall,
