The Jews insulted you by calling you "uncircumcised pagans." They call themselves "the circumcision;" by this they mean that they, not you, are God's people, although circumcision is something that only humans do, not God. -\v 12 At that time, you could not join God's community of Israel without knowing about the true God, nor could you receive what God had promised to his people in his covenants with them. You could not even expect to trust in God in this world because you did know who God is. +\v 12 At that time, you did not have any part of Christ and you were not part of his people Israel. You did not know God's promises and law. You did not have confidence in the future that God promised you, and as you lived your lives, you did not know God. \s5 \v 13 But now because of what Christ Jesus has done, you have been able to trust in him because Christ agreed to die on the cross. - \p \v 14 Christ has brought peace and unity between Jews and non-Jews by destroying the barrier between us, as if he had destroyed a wall of hate that separated our peoples from one another. \v 15 He made it no longer necessary for us to obey all the Jewish laws and commandments. He made Jews and non-Jews into one people instead of two because he made peace between us.
