Gentiles in the flesh—that is, Gentiles in respect to circumcision.
called Uncircumcision—The Gentiles were called (in contempt), and were, the Uncircumcision; the Jews were called, but were not truly, the Circumcision [ELLICOTT].
in the flesh made by hands—as opposed to the true "circumcision of the heart in the Spirit, and not the letter" (Romans 2:29), "made without the hands in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ" (Colossians 2:11).
