Ephesians 2:10-15
New King James Version
10 For we are (A)His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Brought Near by His Blood
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called (B)the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 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. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one (C)new man from the two, thus making peace,

New American Standard Bible
10 For we are His workmanship, (A)created in (B)Christ Jesus for (C)good works, which God (D)prepared beforehand so that we would (E)walk in them.
11 Therefore remember that (F)previously (G)you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “(H)Uncircumcision” by the so-called “(I)Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, [a](J)excluded from [b]the people of Israel, and strangers to (K)the covenants of the promise, having (L)no hope and (M)without God in the world. 13 But now in (N)Christ Jesus you who (O)previously were (P)far away [c]have (Q)been brought near [d](R)by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is (S)our peace, (T)who made both groups into one and broke down the [e]barrier of the dividing wall, 15 [f]by (U)abolishing [g]in His flesh the hostility, which is (V)the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might [h](W)make the two (X)one new person, in this way establishing (Y)peace;

New International Version
10 For we are God’s handiwork,(A) created(B) in Christ Jesus to do good works,(C) which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly(D) you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)(E)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(F) to the covenants of the promise,(G) without hope(H) and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once(I) were far away have been brought near(J) by the blood of Christ.(K)
14 For he himself is our peace,(L) who has made the two groups one(M) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(N) the law with its commands and regulations.(O) His purpose was to create in himself one(P) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace,
Ephesians 2:10-15
King James Version
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye 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:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
