13 but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation;

15 having abolished, by his flesh, the enmity, (the law of the commandments concerning ordinances,) that he might make the two into one new man, under himself, making peace:

16 and might reconcile both to God, in one body, through the cross; having slain the enmity by it.
