Ephesians 2:12-19

12remember that you were at that timeG2540 separateG5565 from ChristG5547, 1 2excludedG526 from the commonwealthG4174 of IsraelG2474, and strangersG3581 to 3the covenantsG1242 of promiseG1860, havingG2192 4noG3361 hopeG1680 and 5withoutG112 GodG112 in the worldG2889.

13But nowG3570 in 6ChristG5547 JesusG2424 you whoG3739 7formerlyG4218 were 8farG3112 offG3112 9have 10beenG1096 broughtG1096 nearG1451 11 12by the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.

14For He HimselfG846 is 13our peaceG1515, 14who madeG4160 bothG297 groups into oneG1520 and brokeG3089 downG3089 the 15barrierG5418 of the dividingG3320 wallG3320,

15 16by 17abolishingG2673 in His fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, which is 18the LawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained in ordinancesG1378, soG2443 that in HimselfG846 He might 19 20makeG2936 the twoG1417 into 21oneG1520 newG2537 manG444, thus establishingG4160 22peaceG1515,

16and might 23reconcileG604 them bothG297 in 24oneG1520 bodyG4983 to GodG2316 throughG1223 the crossG4716, 25by it having 26putG615 to deathG615 the enmityG2189.

17And 27He cameG2064 and preachedG2097 28peaceG1515 to you whoG3588 were 29farG3112 awayG3112, and peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who were 30nearG1451;

18for throughG1223 Him we bothG297 haveG2192 31our accessG4318 in 32oneG1520 SpiritG4151 to 33the FatherG3962.

19SoG686 thenG686 you are noG3765 longerG3765 34strangersG3581 and aliensG3941, but you are 35fellowG4847 citizensG4847 with the 36saintsG40, and are of 37God’sG2316 householdG3609,
