*
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near in the blood of Christ .
*
For he is our peace ,
who has made us both one ,
and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility ,
*
by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances ,
that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two ,
so making peace ,
*
and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross ,
thereby bringing the hostility to an end .
*
And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near ;
*
for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father .
*
So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners ,
but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God ,
*
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets ,
Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone ,
*
in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord ;
*
in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit .
