Ephesians 2:12-17

English Standard Version

¹² remember ^(A)that you were at that time separated from Christ, ^(B)alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to ^(C)the covenants of promise, ^(D)having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were ^(E)far off have been brought near ^(F)by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For ^(G)he himself is our peace, ^(H)who has made us both one and has broken down ^(I)in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility ¹⁵ by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ^(J)ordinances, that he might create in himself one ^(K)new man in place of the two, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might ^(L)reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. ¹⁷ And he came and ^(M)preached peace to you who were ^(N)far off and peace to those who were ^(O)near.
