12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
15 by abolishing in his flesh the hostility, which is the Law of commandments and ordinances, so that he might create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace,
16 and might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, by which he put to death the hostility.
17 And 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.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are members of God's household,
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21 in whom the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord;
22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
