Ephesians 2:14-22

14For He HimselfG846 is 1our peaceG1515, 2who madeG4160 bothG297 groups into oneG1520 and brokeG3089 downG3089 the 3barrierG5418 of the dividingG3320 wallG3320,

15 4by 5abolishingG2673 6in His fleshG4561 the hostilityG2189, which is 7the LawG3551 composed of commandmentsG1785 expressed in ordinancesG1378, soG2443 thatG2443 in HimselfG846 He might 8 9makeG2936 the twoG1417 10oneG1520 newG2537 personG444, in this way establishingG4160 11peaceG1515;

16and that He might 12reconcileG604 them bothG297 in 13oneG1520 bodyG4983 to GodG2316 throughG1223 the crossG4716, 14by it having 15putG615 toG615 deathG615 the hostilityG2189.

17And 16He cameG2064 and preachedG2097 17peaceG1515 to you whoG3588 were 18farG3112 awayG3112, and peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who were 19nearG1451;

18for throughG1223 Him we bothG297 haveG2192 20our accessG4318 in 21oneG1520 SpiritG4151 to 22the FatherG3962.

19SoG686 thenG686 you are noG3765 longerG3765 23strangersG3581 and foreignersG3941, but you are 24fellowG4847 citizensG4847 with the 25saintsG40, and areG3609 ofG3609 26God’sG2316 householdG3609,

20having been 27builtG2026 on 28the foundationG2310 of 29the apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, 30ChristG5547 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 beingG1510 the 31cornerstoneG204,

21 32in whomG3739 the wholeG3956 buildingG3619, being fittedG4883 togetherG4883, is growingG837 into 33a holyG40 34templeG3485 in the LordG2962,

22in whomG3739 you alsoG2532 are being 35builtG4925 togetherG4925 into a 36dwellingG2732 of GodG2316 in the SpiritG4151.
