so that
there will be one flock and
one shepherd.

Ephesians 2:13-22
2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who used to be far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
2:14 For he is our peace, the one who made both groups into one
and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility,
2:15 when he nullified
in his flesh the law of commandments in decrees. He did this to create in himself one new man
out of two,
thus making peace,
2:16 and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed.
2:17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near,
2:18 so that
through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
2:19 So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
2:20 because you have been built
on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
with Christ Jesus himself as
the cornerstone.
2:21 In him
the whole building,
being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
2:22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:15-16
4:15 But practicing the truth in love,
we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.
4:16 From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together
through every supporting ligament.
As each one does its part, the body grows in love.
