12 remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.(A) 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.(B) 14 For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us,(C) 15 abolishing the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two, thus making peace,(D) 16 and might reconcile both to God in one body[a] through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it.[b](E) 17 So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, 18 for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.(F) 19 So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God,(G)

14 For he himself is our peace,(G) who has made the two groups one(H) and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh(I) the law with its commands and regulations.(J) His purpose was to create in himself one(K) new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross,(L) by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace(M) to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.(N) 18 For through him we both have access(O) to the Father(P) by one Spirit.(Q)
