New International Version (NIV) |
|
11 Wherefore remember , that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
|
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)--
|
|
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
|
12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
|
|
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
|
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
|
|
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
|
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
|
|
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
|
15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
|
|
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby :
|
16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
|
|
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
|
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
|
|
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
|
18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
