Ephesians 2:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and [b]called uncircumcision of them, which are [c]called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,
12 That ye were, I say, at that time [d]without Christ, and were [e]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.
13 [f]But now in Christ Jesus, ye which once were far off, are made near by the blood of Christ.
