New American Standard Bible
14 For He Himself is (A)our peace, (B)who made both groups into one and broke down the [a]barrier of the dividing wall, 15 [b]by (C)abolishing [c]in His flesh the hostility, which is (D)the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might [d](E)make the two (F)one new person, in this way establishing (G)peace; 16 and that He might (H)reconcile them both in (I)one body to God through the cross, [e]by it having (J)put to death the hostility.

47 If anyone hears My [a]teachings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for (A)I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 (B)The one who rejects Me and does not [b]accept My [c]teachings has one who judges him: (C)the word which I spoke. That will judge him on (D)the last day. 49 (E)For I did not speak [d]on My own, but the Father Himself who sent Me (F)has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

51 (A)Do you think that I came to provide peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; 52 for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, (B)father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

Isaiah 53:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself (A)bore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,
Struck down by (B)God, and humiliated.
5 But He was [a]pierced for (C)our offenses,
He was crushed for (D)our wrongdoings;
The (E)punishment for our [b]well-being was laid upon Him,
And by (F)His wounds we are healed.
6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all
To [c]fall on Him.
