Ephesians 2:12-19

12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, ^{▼▼ Or alienated
,} ^bexcluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to ^cthe covenants of promise, having ^dno hope and ^ewithout God in the world. 13 But now in ^fChrist Jesus you who ^gformerly were ^hfar off ^{▼▼ Lit became; or were made}have ^jbeen brought near ^{▼▼ Or in
,} ^lby the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is ^mour peace, ⁿwho made both groups into one and broke down the ^{▼▼ Lit the dividing wall of the barrier}barrier of the dividing wall, 15 ^{▼▼ Or the enmity, by abolishing in His flesh the Law}by ^qabolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is ^rthe Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might ^{▼▼ Lit create
,} ^tmake the two into ^uone new man, thus establishing ^vpeace, 16 and might ^wreconcile them both in ^xone body to God through the cross, ^{▼▼ Or in Himself}by it having ^zput to death the enmity. 17 And ^aa He came and preached ^ab peace to you who were ^ac far away, and peace to those who were ^ad near; 18 for through Him we both have ^aeour access in ^afone Spirit to ^agthe Father. 19 So then you are no longer ^ahstrangers and aliens, but you are ^aifellow citizens with the ^{▼▼ Or holy ones}saints, and are of ^akGod’s household,
