14For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
16and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
— Ephesians 2:14-17
