Ephesians 2:12-19

12remember jthat you were at that time separated from Christ, kalienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to lthe covenants of promise, mhaving no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were nfar off have been brought near oby the blood of Christ. 14For phe himself is our peace, qwho has made us both one and has broken down rin his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in sordinances, that he might create in himself one tnew man in place of the two, so making peace, 16and might ureconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17And he came and vpreached peace to you who were wfar off and peace to those who were xnear. 18For ythrough him we both have zaccess in aaone Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer abstrangers and aliens,
Or sojourners
but you are adfellow citizens with the saints and aemembers of the household of God,
