Ephesians 2:11-18
Wycliffe Bible
11 For which thing be ye mindful, that sometime ye were heathen in flesh, which were said prepuce, from that that is said circumcision made by hand in flesh [from that that is said circumcision in flesh made by hand];
12 and ye were in that time without Christ, aliened from the living of Israel, and guests of the testaments[a], not having hope of promise, and without God in this world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye that were sometime far, be made nigh in the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, that made both one, and unbinding the middle wall of a wall without mortar,
15 enmities in his flesh; and voided the law of commandments by dooms [voiding the law of commandments by dooms], that he make two in himself into a new man, making peace,
16 to reconcile both in one body to God by the cross [that he reconcile both in one body to God by the cross], slaying the enmities in himself.
17 And he coming preached peace to you that were far, and peace to them that were nigh;
18 for by him we both have nigh coming in one Spirit to the Father.

Ephesians 2:11-18
Authorized (King James) Version
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
