Ephesians 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 (A)In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Law of commandments which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twain one new man in himself, so making peace,
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in [a]one body by his cross, and [b]slay hatred thereby,
17 [c]And came, and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were near.
