*
Therefore remember that you ,
once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands --
*
that at that 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 once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ .
*
For He Himself is our peace ,
who has made both one ,
and has broken down the middle wall of separation ,
*
having abolished in His flesh the enmity ,
that is ,
the law of commandments contained in ordinances ,
so as to create in Himself one new man from the two ,
thus making peace ,
*
and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross ,
thereby putting to death the enmity .
*
And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near .
*
For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father .
*
Now ,
therefore ,
you are no longer strangers and foreigners ,
but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God ,
*
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets ,
Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone ,
*
in whom the whole building ,
being fitted together ,
grows into a holy temple in the Lord ,
*
in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit .
