Ephesians 2:13-22

13But nowG3570 in 1ChristG5547 JesusG2424 you whoG3739 2previouslyG4218 were 3farG3112 awayG3112 4have 5beenG1096 broughtG1096 nearG1451 6 7by the bloodG129 of ChristG5547.

14For He HimselfG846 is 8our peaceG1515, 9who madeG4160 bothG297 groups into oneG1520 and brokeG3089 downG3089 the 10barrierG5418 of the dividingG3320 wallG3320,

15 11by 12abolishingG2673 13in His fleshG4561 the hostilityG2189, which is 14the LawG3551 composed of commandmentsG1785 expressed in ordinancesG1378, soG2443 thatG2443 in HimselfG846 He might 15 16makeG2936 the twoG1417 17oneG1520 newG2537 personG444, in this way establishingG4160 18peaceG1515;

16and that He might 19reconcileG604 them bothG297 in 20oneG1520 bodyG4983 to GodG2316 throughG1223 the crossG4716, 21by it having 22putG615 toG615 deathG615 the hostilityG2189.

17And 23He cameG2064 and preachedG2097 24peaceG1515 to you whoG3588 were 25farG3112 awayG3112, and peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who were 26nearG1451;

18for throughG1223 Him we bothG297 haveG2192 27our accessG4318 in 28oneG1520 SpiritG4151 to 29the FatherG3962.

19SoG686 thenG686 you are noG3765 longerG3765 30strangersG3581 and foreignersG3941, but you are 31fellowG4847 citizensG4847 with the 32saintsG40, and areG3609 ofG3609 33God’sG2316 householdG3609,

20having been 34builtG2026 on 35the foundationG2310 of 36the apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, 37ChristG5547 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 beingG1510 the 38cornerstoneG204,

21 39in whomG3739 the wholeG3956 buildingG3619, being fittedG4883 togetherG4883, is growingG837 into 40a holyG40 41templeG3485 in the LordG2962,

22in whomG3739 you alsoG2532 are being 42builtG4925 togetherG4925 into a 43dwellingG2732 of GodG2316 in the SpiritG4151.
