Ephesians 2:15-18

15 1by 2abolishing 3in His flesh the hostility, which is 4the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might 5 6make the two 7one new person, in this way establishing 8peace;

16and that He might 9reconcile them both in 10one body to God through the cross, 11by it having 12put to death the hostility.

17And 13He came and preached 14peace to you who were 15far away, and peace to those who were 16near;

18for through Him we both have 17our access in 18one Spirit to 19the Father.
