11Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
12that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
14For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
15having abolished in the flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, [so] making peace;
16and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
