Compare all
16 and that He might areconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby bputting to death the enmity.  
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
18 For athrough Him we both have access bby one Spirit to the Father.  

Christ Our Cornerstone

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
20 having been abuilt bon the foundation of the capostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being dthe chief cornerstone,  
21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into aa holy temple in the Lord,  
22 ain whom you also are being built together for a bdwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2:18

Translate, "For it is through Him (John 14:6; Hebrews 10:19) that we have our access (Ephesians 3:12; Romans 5:2), both of us, in (that is, united in, that is, "by," I Corinthians 12:13, Greek) one Spirit to the Father," namely, as our common Father, reconciled to both alike; whence flows the removal of all separation between Jew and Gentile. The oneness of "the Spirit," through which we both have our access, is necessarily followed by oneness of the body, the Church (Ephesians 2:16). The distinctness of persons in the Divine Trinity appears in this verse. It is also fatal to the theory of sacerdotal priests in the Gospel through whom alone the people can approach God. All alike, people and ministers, can draw nigh to God through Christ, their ever living Priest.
