Ephesians 2:13

now—in contrast to "at that time" (Ephesians 2:12).

in Christ Jesus—"Jesus" is here added, whereas the expression before (Ephesians 2:12) had been merely "Christ," to mark that they know Christ as the personal Saviour, "Jesus."

sometimes—Greek, "aforetime."

far off—the Jewish description of the Gentiles. Far off from God and from the people of God (Ephesians 2:17; Isaiah 57:19; Acts 2:39).

are—Greek, "have been."

by—Greek, "in." Thus "the blood of Christ" is made the seal of a covenant IN which their nearness to God consists. In Ephesians 1:7, where the blood is more directly spoken of as the instrument, it is "through His blood" [ALFORD].
