Ephesians 2:11-13

International Standard Version

All Believers are One in the Messiah

¹¹ So then, remember that at one time you gentiles by birth^[a] were called “the uncircumcised” by those who called themselves “the circumcised.” They underwent physical circumcision done by human hands. ¹² At that time you were without the Messiah,^[b] excluded from citizenship in Israel,^[c] and strangers to the covenants of promise.
