Ephesians 2:11
Compare all
9 not of aworks, lest anyone should bboast.  
10 For we are aHis workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.  

Brought Near by His Blood

11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called athe Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—  
12 that at that time you 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 you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,
15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one anew man from the two, thus making peace,  
16 and that He might areconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bputting to death the enmity.  
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
18 For athrough Him we both have access bby one Spirit to the Father.

Ephesians 2:11

Wherefore remember - That ye may ever see and feel your obligations to live a pure and holy life, and be unfeignedly thankful to God for your salvation, remember that ye were once heathens in the flesh - without the pure doctrine, and under the influence of your corrupt nature; such as by the Jew' s (who gloried, in consequence of their circumcision, to be in covenant with God) were called uncircumcision; i.e. persons out of the Divine covenant, and having no right or title to any blessing of God.
