11 So remember that you were not born Jews. (They call you The Uncircumcised).
12 Remember you did not know Christ at that time. You were far away from the people of Israel. You had no part in the agreements which God promised to them. You had no hope and you were without God in this world.
13 At one time you were far away, but now you have been brought near to God by the blood death of Jesus Christ.
