Paul reminds these believers that God has now made Gentiles and Jews into one body through Christ and his cross.
|

|
|
# Gentiles in the flesh
|
|
|
|
This refers to people who were not born Jewish. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# uncircumcision
|
|
|
|
Non-Jewish people were not circumcised as babies and thus the Jews considered them people who do not follow any of God's laws. Alternate translation: "uncircumcised pagans" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# circumcision
|
|
|
|
This was another term for Jewish people because all male infants were circumcised. Alternate translation: "circumcised people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

|
# what is called the "circumcision" in the flesh made by human hands
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "Jews, who are circumcised by humans" or 2) "Jews, who circumcise the physical body."
|
|
|
|
# by what is called
|
|
|
|
This can be translated with an active form. Alternate translation: "by what people call" or "by those whom people call" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
