Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
11 Therefore remember that ye <em>being</em> in time past Gentiles in <em>the</em> flesh, who were called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in <em>the</em> flesh, which is made by hands,
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)—
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 at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ.
13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who of both has made one, breaking down the middle wall of separation,
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 abolishing in his flesh the enmity, <em>which was</em> the law of commandments in the order of rites, to edify in himself the two in one new man, making 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 to reconcile both with God by the <em>cross</em> {Gr. stauros – stake} in one body, having slain the enmity thereby;
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 unto you who <em>were</em> afar off and to those that <em>were</em> near.
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.
