Ephesians
2:11-22 NLT
11 Don’t
forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called
“uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their
circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their
hearts.
12 In those
days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from
citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the
covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world
without God and without hope.
13 But now you
have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God,
but now you have been brought near to Him through The Blood Of
Christ.
14 For Christ
Himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles
into one people when, in His own body on the cross, He broke down the
wall of hostility that separated us.
15 He did this
by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He
made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in Himself
one new people from the two groups.
16 Together as
one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of His death
on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.
17 He brought
this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from
Him, and peace to the Jews who were near.
18 Now all of
us can come to The Father through the same Holy Spirit because of
what Christ has done for us.
19 So now you
Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens
along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s
family.
20 Together, we
are His house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the
prophets. And the Cornerstone is Christ Jesus Himself.
21 We are
carefully joined together in Him, becoming a holy temple for The
Lord.
22 Through Him
you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God
lives by His Spirit.

KJV
Those things,
which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
do: and
The God Of
Peace shall be with you.

KJV

and faithful brethren in Christ...Grace be unto you, and peace, from
God our Father and The Lord Jesus Christ.

5:23 KJV
And the very
God Of Peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit
and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

3:16 KJV
Now The Lord Of
Peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with
you all.

Of Peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great
Shepherd of the sheep, through The Blood Of The Everlasting Covenant,
21 Make you
perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which
is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory
for ever and ever. Amen.

of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our
Lord,

you, mercy, and peace, from God The Father, and from The Lord
Jesus Christ,
The Son Of The
Father, in Truth and Love
