Ephesians 2:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 (A) to destroy the Law of Moses with all its rules and commands. He even brought Jews and Gentiles together as though we were only one person, when he united us in peace. 16 (B) On the cross Christ did away with our hatred for each other. He also made peace[a] between us and God by uniting Jews and Gentiles in one body. 17 (C) Christ came and preached peace to you Gentiles, who were far from God, and peace to us Jews, who were near God.
