Ephesians 2:11–19

¹¹Therefore remember that ^aformerly ^byou, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “^cUncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands—

¹²remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, ^1aexcluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to ^bthe covenants of promise, having ^cno hope and ^dwithout God in the world.

¹³But now in ^aChrist Jesus you who ^bformerly were ^cfar off ¹have been brought near ^2dby the blood of Christ.

¹⁴For He Himself is ^aour peace, ^bwho made both groups into one and broke down the ¹barrier of the dividing wall,

¹⁵¹by ^aabolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is ^bthe Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might ^2cmake the two into ^done new man, thus establishing ^epeace,

¹⁶and might ^areconcile them both in ^bone body to God through the cross, ¹by it having ^cput to death the enmity.

¹⁷And ^aHe came and preached ^bpeace to you who were ^cfar away, and peace to those who were near;

¹⁸for through Him we both have ^aour access in ^bone Spirit to ^cthe Father.

¹⁹So then you are no longer ^astrangers and aliens, but you are ^bfellow citizens with the ¹saints, and are of ^cGod’s household,
