Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
11 Wherefore, remember, that ye [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,
11
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—
12 that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;
12
remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
13 and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,
13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,
14
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace,
15
by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it,
16
and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh,
17
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one Spirit unto the Father.
18
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
