For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility

For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.

For he is our peace, who made both groups one  and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In his flesh

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation

He repealed the law code that had become so clogged with fine print and footnotes that it hindered more than it helped. Then he started over. Instead of continuing with two groups of people separated by centuries of animosity and suspicion, he created a new kind of human being, a fresh start for everybody.

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall

For He Himself is our peace and our bond of unity. He who made both groups—[Jews and Gentiles]—into one body and broke down the barrier, the dividing wall [of spiritual antagonism between us]

For he is our peace, the one who made both groups into one and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility
