Ephesians
Ephesians says Christ “has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” It explains this as abolishing “the law of commandments expressed in ordinances” to create “one new man” and reconcile both to God. See Ephesians 2:14–16.
14For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,
15having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;
16and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.
