      Paul’s Letter To The Ephesians 2

                   (paraphrased)

10 - For we are his creativity and creation, intended, in Christ Jesus for good things! Which God predestined and prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

     11 So remember that at one time you gentiles were unbelievers 12 and were separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers to the covenant [diathéké - covenant, testament, will] of promise, having no hope [elpis - expectation] and without God in the world! 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.  {“The life is in the blood.”} 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us one and has broken down the wall of hostility that divides us 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. [Between Hebrew and Gentile (non Hebrew). “One flock.”]
