Ephesians 2:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For we are [a]his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained, that we should walk in them.
11 [b]Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and [c]called uncircumcision of them, which are [d]called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,
12 That ye were, I say, at that time [e]without Christ, and were [f]aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and were (A)strangers from the covenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.
