Ephesians 2:15-22

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.

19So then you are no longer 20strangers and foreigners, but you are 21fellow citizens with the 22saints, and are of 23God’s household,

20having been 24built on 25the foundation of 26the apostles and prophets, 27Christ Jesus Himself being the 28cornerstone,

21 29in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into 30a holy 31temple in the Lord,

22in whom you also are being 32built together into a 33dwelling of God in the Spirit.
