Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—

14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,
14
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,
15
by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
16
and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

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 our access in one Spirit to the Father.
18
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
