All Believers are One in the Messiah

¹¹ So then, remember that at one time you gentiles by birth^[a] were called “the uncircumcised” by those who called themselves “the circumcised.” They underwent physical circumcision done by human hands. ¹² At that time you were without the Messiah,^[b] excluded from citizenship in Israel,^[c] and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God. ¹³ But now, in union with the Messiah^[d] Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.^[e]

¹⁴ For it is he who is our peace. Through his mortality^[f] he made both groups one by tearing down the wall of hostility that divided them.^{[g] 15} He rendered the Law inoperative, along with its commandments and regulations, thus creating in himself one new humanity from the two, thereby making peace, ¹⁶ and reconciling both groups to God in one body through the cross, on which he eliminated the hostility. ¹⁷ He came and proclaimed peace for you who were far away and for you who were near. ¹⁸ For through him, both of us^[h] have access to the Father by one Spirit.
