Ephesians 2:13-22

13But now in 1Christ Jesus you who 2previously were 3far away 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 13in His flesh the hostility, which is 14the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might 15 16make the two 17one new person, in this way establishing 18peace;

16and that He might 19reconcile them both in 20one body to God through the cross, 21by it having 22put to death the hostility.

17And 23He came and preached 24peace to you who were 25far away, and peace to those who were 26near;

18for through Him we both have 27our access in 28one Spirit to 29the Father.

19So then you are no longer 30strangers and foreigners, but you are 31fellow citizens with the 32saints, and are of 33God’s household,

20having been 34built on 35the foundation of 36the apostles and prophets, 37Christ Jesus Himself being the 38cornerstone,

21 39in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into 40a holy 41temple in the Lord,

22in whom you also are being 42built together into a 43dwelling of God in the Spirit.
