Ephesians 2:11-18

11\\xa0Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called \\u201cuncircumcised\\u201d by those who call themselves \\u201cthe circumcision\\u201d (which is done in the body by human hands)\\u201412\\xa0remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13\\xa0But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.\\xa0

14\\xa0For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15\\xa0by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16\\xa0and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17\\xa0He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18\\xa0For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.\\xa0
