Ephesians 2:11-22
11ThereforeG1352 rememberG3421 thatG3754 formerlyG4218 youG4771 whoG3588 are GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561 and calledG3004 uncircumcisedG203 byG5259 theG3588 so-calledG3004 circumcisionG4061 (that done inG1722 the bodyG4561 by human handsG5499)— 12remember thatG3754 atG3588 thatG1565 timeG2540 you wereG1510 separate fromG5565 ChristG5547, alienated fromG526 theG3588 commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 strangersG3581 to theG3588 covenantsG1242 of theG3588 promiseG1860, withoutG3361G2192 hopeG1680 andG2532 without GodG112 inG1722 theG3588 worldG2889. 13ButG1161 nowG3570 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 youG4771 whoG3588 onceG4218 wereG1510 far awayG3112 have been broughtG1096 nearG1451 throughG1722 theG3588 bloodG129 of ChristG5547.
14ForG1063 He HimselfG846 isG1510 ourG1473 peaceG1515, whoG3588 has madeG4160 the twoG297 oneG1520 andG2532 has torn downG3089 theG3588 dividingG3320 wallG5418 of hostilityG2189 15by abolishingG2673 inG1722 HisG846 fleshG4561 theG3588 lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 and decreesG1378. He did this toG2443 createG2936 inG1722 HimselfG848 oneG1520 newG2537 manG444 out of theG3588 twoG1417, thus makingG4160 peaceG1515 16andG2532 reconcilingG604 bothG297 of them to GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 throughG1223 theG3588 crossG4716, byG1722 whichG846 He put to deathG615 their hostilityG2189.
He cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG4771 whoG3588 were far awayG3112 andG2532 peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who were nearG1451. 18ForG3754 throughG1223 HimG846 we both haveG297G2192 accessG4318 toG4314 theG3588 FatherG3962 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151.
19ThereforeG686G3767 you areG1510 no longerG3765 strangersG3581 andG2532 foreignersG3941, butG235 fellow citizensG4847 with theG3588 saintsG40 andG2532 members of God’s householdG3609G3588G2316, 20builtG2026 onG1909 theG3588 foundationG2310 of theG3588 apostlesG652 andG2532 prophetsG4396, with ChristG5547 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 asG1510 the cornerstoneG204. 21InG1722 HimG3739 the wholeG3956 buildingG3619 is fitted togetherG4883 and growsG837 intoG1519 a holyG40 templeG3485 inG1722 the LordG2962. 22And inG1722 Him youG4771 too areG2532 being built togetherG4925 intoG1519 a dwelling placeG2732 for GodG2316 inG1722 His SpiritG4151.
