New American Standard Bible 1995

Ephesians 2:15-18

15 1by 2abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is 3the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might 4 5make the two into 6one new man, thus establishing 7peace,

16and might 8reconcile them both in 9one body to God through the cross, 10by it having 11put to death the enmity.

17And 12He came and preached 13peace to you who were 14far away, and peace to those who were 15near;

18for through Him we both have 16our access in 17one Spirit to 18the Father.
