Ephesians 2:11-14

11Therefore remember that 1previously 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 7the people of Israel, and strangers to 8the covenants of the promise, having 9no hope and 10without God in the world.

13But now in 11Christ Jesus you who 12previously were 13far away 14have 15been brought near 16 17by the blood of Christ.

14For He Himself is 18our peace, 19who made both groups into one and broke down the 20barrier of the dividing wall,
