Ephesians 2:13-21

English Standard Version

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(A)far off have been brought near ^(B)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For ^(C)he himself is our peace, ^(D)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(E)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(F)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(G)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(H)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(I)preached peace to you who were ^(J)far off and peace to those who were ^(K)near. ¹⁸ For ^(L)through him we both have ^(M)access in ^(N)one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(O)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(P)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(Q)members of the household of God, ^20 (R)built on the foundation of the ^(S)apostles and prophets, ^(T)Christ Jesus himself being ^(U)the cornerstone, ^21 (V)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(W)a holy temple in the Lord.
