'Away' in the Bible

But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.

He made of no effect the law consisting of commands and expressed in regulations, so that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, resulting in peace.

When the Messiah came, He proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
