Jewish And Gentile Believers United In Christ

¹⁶ And [that He] might reconcile them both [Jew and Gentile, united] in one body to God through the cross, thereby putting to death the hostility. ¹⁷ And He came and preached the good news of peace to you [Gentiles] who were far away, and peace to those [Jews] who were near. ¹⁸ For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father.
