Ephesians 2:11-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹¹ Therefore, remember that ^(A)formerly ^(B)you—the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “^(C)Uncircumcision” by the so-called “^(D)Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— ¹² remember that you were at that time without Christ, ^(E)alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers to ^(F)the covenants of promise, having ^(G)no hope and ^(H)without God in the world. ¹³ But now in ^(I)Christ Jesus you who ^(J)formerly were ^(K)far off ^[a]have ^(L)been brought near ^(M)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For He Himself is ^(N)our peace, ^(O)who made both groups one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition ^15 [b]by ^(P)abolishing in His flesh the enmity, ^(Q)the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might ^(R)create the two into ^(S)one new man, making ^(T)peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(U)reconcile them both in ^(V)one body to God through the cross, having in Himself ^(W)put to death the enmity. ¹⁷ And ^(X)He came and preached ^(Y)the good news of peace to you who were ^(Z)far away, and peace to those who were ^(AA)near; ¹⁸ for through Him we both have ^(AB)our access in ^(AC)one Spirit to ^(AD)the Father.
