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 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 that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, 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.
