Ephesians 2:11-13

Lamsa(i) 11 Wherefore remember that you were Gentiles in the flesh from the beginning, and you were called Uncircumcision, differing from that which is called Circumcision, which is the work of the hands in the flesh. 12 At that time you were without Christ, being aliens to the customs of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope, and without God in the world. 13 But now, through Jesus Christ, you who sometimes were far off are brought near by the blood of Christ.
