Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly(I) you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)(J)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(K) to the covenants of the promise,(L) without hope(M) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(N) were far away have been brought near(O) by the blood of Christ.(P)
14 For he himself is our peace,(Q) who has made the two groups one(R) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(S) the law with its commands and regulations.(T) His purpose was to create in himself one(U) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(V) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(W) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(X) 18 For through him we both have access(Y) to the Father(Z) by one Spirit.(AA)
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(AB) but fellow citizens(AC) with God’s people and also members of his household,(AD) 20 built(AE) on the foundation(AF) of the apostles and prophets,(AG) with Christ Jesus himself(AH) as the chief cornerstone.(AI) 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple(AJ) in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(AK)
Ephesians 4:11-16
New International Version
11 So Christ himself gave(A) the apostles,(B) the prophets,(C) the evangelists,(D) the pastors and teachers,(E) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(F) may be built up(G) 13 until we all reach unity(H) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(I) and become mature,(J) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(K)
14 Then we will no longer be infants,(L) tossed back and forth by the waves,(M) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(N) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(O) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(P) that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows(Q) and builds itself up(R) in love,(S) as each part does its work.
Philippians 2:12-13
New International Version
Do Everything Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,(A) 13 for it is God who works in you(B) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(C)
Colossians 1:9-22
New International Version
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you,(A) we have not stopped praying for you.(B) We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will(C) through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,[a](D) 10 so that you may live a life worthy(E) of the Lord and please him(F) in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,(G) 11 being strengthened with all power(H) according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience,(I) 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father,(J) who has qualified you[b] to share in the inheritance(K) of his holy people in the kingdom of light.(L) 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness(M) and brought us into the kingdom(N) of the Son he loves,(O) 14 in whom we have redemption,(P) the forgiveness of sins.(Q)
The Supremacy of the Son of God
15 The Son is the image(R) of the invisible God,(S) the firstborn(T) over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created:(U) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(V) all things have been created through him and for him.(W) 17 He is before all things,(X) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(Y) of the body, the church;(Z) he is the beginning and the firstborn(AA) from among the dead,(AB) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(AC) to have all his fullness(AD) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(AE) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(AF) by making peace(AG) through his blood,(AH) shed on the cross.
21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies(AI) in your minds(AJ) because of[c] your evil behavior. 22 But now he has reconciled(AK) you by Christ’s physical body(AL) through death to present you(AM) holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation(AN)—
