Ephesians 2:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ For we are God’s^[a] masterpiece,^[b] created in the Messiah^[c] Jesus to perform good actions that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.^[d]

All Believers are One in the Messiah

¹¹ So then, remember that at one time you gentiles by birth^[e] were called “the uncircumcised” by those who called themselves “the circumcised.” They underwent physical circumcision done by human hands. ¹² At that time you were without the Messiah,^[f] excluded from citizenship in Israel,^[g] and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God.
