Commentary on Ephesians 2:11

Theological / Devotional

Wherefore remember. It is good for the Christian to recall his former estate. It was a surprise to Jew and Gentile alike to discover that both entered into the new covenant relationship with the Messiah by the same means, even though the Jew had the advantage of having first received the oracles of God (Rom. 3:1,2).

Gentiles in the flesh. A reference to their state of uncircumcision.

Uncircumcision ... Circumcision. Distinctive terms denoting Gentiles and Jews (see on Rom. 2:25-29; Gal. 5:6).
