American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
11 Wherefore 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;
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 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.
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 But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of 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 made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
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 having 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;
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 them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
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 he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:
17
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
18
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
