Ephesians 2:16-18

Good News Translation

^16 (A)By his death on the cross Christ destroyed their enmity; by means of the cross he united both races into one body and brought them back to God. ^17 (B)So Christ came and preached the Good News of peace to all—to you Gentiles, who were far away from God, and to the Jews, who were near to him. ¹⁸ It is through Christ that all of us, Jews and Gentiles, are able to come in the one Spirit into the presence of the Father.
