Ephesians 2:11-22 (New American Standard)
View In My Bible
11
Therefore remember that 1formerly 2you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "3 Uncircumcision" by the so-called "4Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands -
12
remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, a5excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to 6the covenants of promise, having 7no hope and 8without God in the world.
13
But now in 9Christ Jesus you who 10formerly were 11far off bhave 12been brought near c13by the blood of Christ.
14
For He Himself is 14our peace, 15who made both groups into one and broke down the dbarrier of the dividing wall,
15
eby 16abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is 17the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might f18make the two into 19one new man, thus establishing 20peace,
16
and might 21reconcile them both in 22one body to God through the cross, gby it having 23put to death the enmity.
17
AND 24HE CAME AND PREACHED 25PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE 26FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE 27NEAR ;
18
for through Him we both have 28our access in 29one Spirit to 30the Father.
19
So then you are no longer 31strangers and aliens, but you are 32fellow citizens with the hsaints, and are of 33God's household,
20
having been 34built on 35the foundation of 36the apostles and prophets, 37Christ Jesus Himself being the 38corner stone,
21
39in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into 40a holy itemple in the Lord,
22
in whom you also are being 41built together into a 42dwelling of God in the Spirit.
