151by 2abolishingG2673 3in His fleshG4561 the hostilityG2189, which is 4the LawG3551 composed of commandmentsG1785 expressed in ordinancesG1378, soG2443 thatG2443 in HimselfG846 He might 56makeG2936 the twoG1417 7oneG1520 newG2537 personG444, in this way establishingG4160 8peaceG1515;

16and that He might 9reconcileG604 them bothG297 in 10oneG1520 bodyG4983 to GodG2316 throughG1223 the crossG4716, 11by it having 12putG615 toG615 deathG615 the hostilityG2189.

17And 13He cameG2064 and preachedG2097 14peaceG1515 to you whoG3588 were 15farG3112 awayG3112, and peaceG1515 to thoseG3588 who were 16nearG1451;

18for throughG1223 Him we bothG297 haveG2192 17our accessG4318 in 18oneG1520 SpiritG4151 to 19the FatherG3962.

19SoG686 thenG686 you are noG3765 longerG3765 20strangersG3581 and foreignersG3941, but you are 21fellowG4847 citizensG4847 with the 22saintsG40, and areG3609 ofG3609 23God’sG2316 householdG3609,

20having been 24builtG2026 on 25the foundationG2310 of 26the apostlesG652 and prophetsG4396, 27ChristG5547 JesusG2424 HimselfG846 beingG1510 the 28cornerstoneG204,

2129in whomG3739 the wholeG3956 buildingG3619, being fittedG4883 togetherG4883, is growingG837 into 30a holyG40 31templeG3485 in the LordG2962,

22in whomG3739 you alsoG2532 are being 32builtG4925 togetherG4925 into a 33dwellingG2732 of GodG2316 in the SpiritG4151.
