14. For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of the partition, the enmity, in his flesh,
15. invalidating the law of commandments in ordinances, in order that he might create the two in himself into one new man, thus making peace,
16. and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, killing the enmity in himself.
17. And coming, he proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to the ones who were near,
18. because through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19. Consequently, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and members of the household of God,
20. built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
21. in whom the whole building, joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22. in whom you also are built up together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
