New American Standard Bible 1995

Ephesians 2:15-22

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.

19So then you are no longer 19strangers and aliens, but you are 20fellow citizens with the 21saints, and are of 22God’s household,

20having been 23built on 24the foundation of 25the apostles and prophets, 26Christ Jesus Himself being the 27corner stone,

21 28in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into 29a holy 30temple in the Lord,

22in whom you also are being 31built together into a 32dwelling of God in the Spirit.
