11 ¶ Therefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who were called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh, which is made by hands,

12 that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world,

13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ.

14 ¶ For he is our peace, who of both has made one, breaking down the middle wall of separation,

15 abolishing in his flesh the enmity, which was the law of commandments in the order of rites, to edify in himself the two in one new man, making peace,

16 and to reconcile both with God by the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} in one body, having slain the enmity thereby;

17 and he came and preached peace unto you who were afar off and to those that were near.

18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
