Ephesians 2:14-19

14For He Himself is 1our peace, 2who made both groups into one and broke down the 3barrier of the dividing wall,

15 4by 5abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is 6the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might 7 8make the two into 9one new man, thus establishing 10peace,

16and might 11reconcile them both in 12one body to God through the cross, 13by it having 14put to death the enmity.

17And 15He came and preached 16peace to you who were 17far away, and peace to those who were 18near;

18for through Him we both have 19our access in 20one Spirit to 21the Father.

19So then you are no longer 22strangers and aliens, but you are 23fellow citizens with the 24saints, and are of 25God’s household,
