Ephesians 2:12-19

New International Version

¹²remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners^(A) to the covenants of the promise,^(B) without hope^(C) and without God in the world. ¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once^(D) were far away have been brought near^(E) by the blood of Christ.^(F)

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

¹⁹Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers,^(R) but fellow citizens^(S) with God’s people and also members of his household,^(T)

    my flesh also will dwell ^(D)in hope.

    ^(F)or let your ^(G)Holy One ^(H)see corruption.
²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;
    you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

²⁹“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about ^(I)the patriarch David ^(J)that he both died and ^(K)was buried, and ^(L)his tomb is with us to this day. ³⁰^(M)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that ^(N)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, ³¹he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that ^(O)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. ³²This Jesus ^(P)God raised up, ^(Q)and of that we all are witnesses.
