11Therefore remember that you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by the so-called circumcision in the flesh made by hands,12that you were at that time without Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and foreign to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.14For he himself is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of the fence, the hostility, in his flesh,15having abolished the law of commandments in decrees, so that he might create the two in himself into one new human, making peace,16and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility in it.17And having come, he proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near,18that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.19Therefore you are no longer foreigners and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,20having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,22in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
