| Ephesians 2:14 | For *he* is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure, | For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; | For He is our peace He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall, |
