11
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)—

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace,

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 both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it.

and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

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