Ephesians 2:13-22

13But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

14For he is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In his flesh,

15he made of no effect the law consisting of commands and expressed in regulations, so that he might create in himself one new man from the two, resulting in peace.

16He did this so that he might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross by which he put the hostility to death.

17He came and proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

18For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

19So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household,

20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

21In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

22In him you are also being built together for God’s dwelling in the Spirit.
