[14] For he peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [15] Having abolished in his flesh even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: [17] And came and preached peace which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. [18] For through him both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
