13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one (A)new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might (B)reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby (C)putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For (D)through Him we both have access (E)by one Spirit to the Father.

Christ Our Cornerstone

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been (F)built (G)on the foundation of the (H)apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being (I)the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into (J)a holy temple in the Lord, 22 (K)in whom you also are being built together for a (L)dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(A) were far away have been brought near(B) by the blood of Christ.(C)

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)
