14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
15 by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
