‏ Ephesians 2:11

 Wherefore ( διο ). This conjunction applies to the Gentile Christians the arguments in 2:1-10.

 That aforetime ye ( οτ ποτε υμεις ). No verb is expressed, but in verse 12 Paul repeats  οτ εν τω καιρω εκεινω (for  ποτε ) "that at that time" and inserts  ητε (ye were).

 Uncircumcision ( ακροβυστια ),

 circumcision ( περιτομης ). The abstract words are used to describe Gentiles and Jews as in Ga 5:6; Rom 2:27.

 Made by hands ( χειροποιητου ). Agreeing with  περιτομης. Verbal (Mr 14:58) from  χειροποιεω like  αχειροποιητος in Col 2:11.
