12那时，你们与基督无关，在以色列国民以外，在所应许的诸约上是局外人，并且活在世上没有指望，没有 神。 【niv】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你们从前远离 神的人，如今却在基督耶稣里，靠着他的血，已经得亲近了。 【niv】But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. －（以弗所书 2：12－13）
