17 But ^athanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the ^bstandard of teaching to which you were committed,

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 ^cthe circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember ^dthat you were at that time separated from Christ, ^ealienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^fthe covenants of promise, ^ghaving no hope and without God in the world.
