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.

^21 (A)And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, ^(B)doing evil deeds, ²² he has now reconciled ^(C)in his body of flesh by his death, ^(D)in order to present you holy and blameless and ^(E)above reproach before him, ^23 (F)if indeed you continue in the faith, ^(G)stable and steadfast, not shifting from ^(H)the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed ^(I)in all creation^[a] under heaven, ^(J)and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
