Ephesians 2:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

One in Christ

¹¹ So then, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth,^[a] called ‘the uncircumcision’ by those who are called ‘the circumcision’—a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands— ¹² remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
