Ephesians 2:11-12

One in Christ

11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^athe circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember ^bthat you were at that time separated from Christ, ^calienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^dthe covenants of promise, ^ehaving no hope and without God in the world.

Colossians 1:21-23

21 ^fAnd you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, ^gdoing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled ^hin his body of flesh by his death, ⁱin order to present you holy and blameless and ^jabove reproach before him, 23 ^kif indeed you continue in the faith, ^lstable and steadfast, not shifting from ^mthe hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ⁿin all creation ^{▼▼Or to every creature} under heaven, ^pand of which I, Paul, became a minister.

1 Peter 2:10

10 ^qOnce you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
