Ephesians 2:13-22 ▼

13 but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,

14 for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,

15 the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,

16 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,

17 and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,

18 because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.

19 Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,

20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],

21 in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,

22 in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
