For he is our peace, he who has made both of us a unity and destroyed the barrier which kept us apart;

in his own flesh he put an end to the feud of the Law with its code of commands, so as to make peace by the creation of a new Man in himself out of both parties,

so as himself to give the death-blow to that feud by reconciling them both to God in one Body through the cross;

for it is through him that we both enjoy our access to the Father in one Spirit.
