Wherefore, keep in remembrance - that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,

That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;

But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;

He, in fact, is our peace - who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,

The enmity, in his flesh - the law of commandments in decrees - bringing to nought, - that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.

And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, - slaying the enmity thereby; -

And, coming, he announced the glad-message - of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;

Because, through him, we have our introduction - we both - in one Spirit, unto the Father.
