14 For he himself is our peace,(D) who has made the two groups one(E) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(F) the law with its commands and regulations.(G) His purpose was to create in himself one(H) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(I) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(J) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(K) 18 For through him we both have access(L) to the Father(M) by one Spirit.(N)

19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,(O) but fellow citizens(P) with God’s people and also members of his household,(Q) 20 built(R) on the foundation(S) of the apostles and prophets,(T) with Christ Jesus himself(U) as the chief cornerstone.(V) 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple(W) in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.(X)
