Ephesians 2 — Context

12

That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

13

But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

14

For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,

15

Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

16

And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

17

And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

18

Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.
