Ephesians 2:14-15

Our peace; the author and ground of our peace--peace in the widest sense: first, between man and God, verses Eph 2:16-18; and then, as a consequence of this, between Jews and Gentiles, verses Eph 2:14,15.

Both one; Jews and Gentiles, one body.

The middle wall; the ceremonial law, which, till the death of Christ, separated Jews and Gentiles. Abolished in his flesh; by his death he abolished the ceremonial law, that cause of enmity and separation between Jews and Gentiles.

Contained in ordinances; thus he characterizes the Mosaic economy as a system of outward ordinances.

Of twain; of the two parties, Jews and Gentiles.

One new man; one new body, of which he should be the head.
