Compare all
15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one anew man from the two, thus making peace,  
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.
