Therefore
remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the
uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the
flesh by hands --
remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of
promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought
near in the blood of Christ.
