Our Peace
At one time you were without Christ, being
aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
but now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes
were far off, are made close by the blood of
Christ; for he is our peace, who has made
both one, and has broken down the middle wall
of partition between us.
Having abolished in his flesh the hostility, even
the law of commandments contained in
ordinances; for to make in himself of the two
one new man, so making peace; so that
he might reconcile both unto God in one body
by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
and came and preached peace to you which
were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For
through him we both have access by one Spirit
unto the Father. Now you are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens
with the saints, and of the household of God.
Ephesians 2:12-19
