Ephesians 2:12 Spoken to non-Hebrew believers in Ephesus.(paraphrase) "You who were at that time separated from the Messiah (because of your pagan beliefs), an outsider from the people of Israel (people of Yahweh), ineligible for the promise of the covenants, having no hope and being without Yahweh in the world; 13 you now being in Messiah Yahshua, who were once far off (separated from the people of Israel/Yahweh) are now brought together (with the people of Israel/Yahweh) in the blood of the Messiah. 14 For he is our peace, who made both (groups) one, and broke down the middle wall of partition. 15 He abolished the rejection (Hebrew of Gentile) previously required by the ordinances of the commandments; so that he would create in himself one new man out of the two, making peace. 16 And would bring both (Hebrew and Gentile) unto Yahweh in one body through the stake, having destroyed this previous rejection (of Hebrew for Gentile).
