13 Now in Christ you who once were Far Away
Have been brought Near by the Blood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is our Peace,
Who has made the Two Groups (Jews and Gentiles) One
And has Destroyed the Barrier,
The Dividing Wall of Hostility,
15 By Setting Aside in His Flesh the Law
With its Commands and Regulations.
His Purpose was to Create in Himself
One New Humanity out of the Two,
Thus making Peace,
16 And in One Body
To Reconcile both of them to God
Through the cross,
By which He Put to Death their Hostility.
17 He came and Preached Peace to you
Who were Far Away
And Peace to those who were Near.
18 For through Him we both have Access to the Father
BY ONE SPIRIT.
(Ephesians 2:13-18, NIV)
