"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility," (Eph 2:14 NIV) "by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace," (Eph 2:15 NIV) "and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility." (Eph 2:16 NIV) "He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near." (Eph 2:17 NIV) "For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit." (Eph 2:18 NIV) "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household," (Eph 2:19 NIV) "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone." (Eph 2:20 NIV)
"The God of peace be with you all. Amen." (Rom 15:33 NIV) |
