Ephesians 2:17 in Context — Ephesians 2

15 ayant anéanti par sa chair la loi des ordonnances dans ses prescriptions, afin de créer en lui-même avec les deux un seul homme nouveau, en établissant la paix,

16 et de les réconcilier, l’un et l’autre en un seul corps, avec Dieu par la croix, en détruisant par elle l’inimitié.

17 Il est venu annoncer la paix à vous qui étiez loin, et la paix à ceux qui étaient près;

18 car par lui nous avons les uns et les autres accès auprès du Père, dans un même Esprit.

19 Ainsi donc, vous n’êtes plus des étrangers, ni des gens du dehors; mais vous êtes concitoyens des saints, gens de la maison de Dieu.
