Ephesians 2:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do.

God Has United Jewish and Non-Jewish People

¹¹ Remember that once you were not Jewish physically. Those who called themselves “the circumcised” because of what they had done to their bodies called you “the uncircumcised.” ¹² Also, at that time you were without Christ. You were excluded from citizenship in Israel, and the pledges ^[a] ⌞God made in his⌟ promise were foreign to you. You had no hope and were in the world without God.
