SCRIPTURE

"So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor. For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one [man] in Christ Jesus." — Galatians 3:24-28 (ASV)

That we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Yet some foolish people still talk about our Israelitish origin.

What would that matter even if it were true? There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free. All these distinctions are done away with, and Christ is all, and believers, whether Jews or Gentiles, are all one in Christ Jesus.
