Text:

In Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought
near through the blood of Christ.

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the
dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its
commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself
one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in this
one body to reconcile both Jew and Gentile to God through the
cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and
preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those
who were near.
For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow-citizens with God's people
and members of God's household.
