One in Christ

¹¹Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called ^(A)the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— ¹²remember ^(B)that you were at that time separated from Christ, ^(C)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^(D)the covenants of promise, ^(E)having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(F)far off have been brought near ^(G)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴For ^(H)he himself is our peace, ^(I)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(J)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(K)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(L)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶and might ^(M)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷And he came and ^(N)preached peace to you who were ^(O)far off and peace to those who were ^(P)near. ¹⁸For ^(Q)through him we both have ^(R)access in ^(S)one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹So then you are no longer ^(T)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(U)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(V)members of the household of God, ²⁰^(W)built on the foundation of the ^(X)apostles and prophets, ^(Y)Christ Jesus himself being ^(Z)the cornerstone, ²¹^(AA)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(AB)a holy temple in the Lord. ²²In him ^(AC)you also are being built together ^(AD)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.
