14 pois ele é a nossa paz. Dos dois [povos] ele fez um, e derrubou do meio o muro da separação.

15 Na sua carne ele desfez a inimizade da Lei dos mandamentos [que consistia] em ordenanças, para criar em si mesmo os dois em um novo homem, fazendo a paz;

16 e pela cruz reconciliar com Deus a ambos num só corpo, matando nela a inimizade.

17 Ele veio, e proclamou o evangelho da paz a vós que [estáveis] longe, e aos que estavam perto.

18 Pois por meio dele ambos temos acesso ao Pai por um [mesmo] Espírito.
