Ephesians 2:13-18

13But now in 1Christ Jesus you who 2formerly were 3far off 4have 5been brought near 6 7by the blood of Christ.

14For He Himself is 8our peace, 9who made both groups into one and broke down the 10barrier of the dividing wall,

15 11by 12abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is 13the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might 14 15make the two into 16one new man, thus establishing 17peace,

16and might 18reconcile them both in 19one body to God through the cross, 20by it having 21put to death the enmity.

17And 22He came and preached 23peace to you who were 24far away, and peace to those who were 25near;

18for through Him we both have 26our access in 27one Spirit to 28the Father.
