# Connecting Statement:

Paul tells the Ephesian believers that present Gentile believers are also now made one with the Jewish apostles and prophets; they are a temple for God in the Spirit.

# proclaimed peace

"announced the gospel of peace" or "declared the gospel of peace"

# you who were far away

This refers to the Gentiles or non-Jews.

# those who were near

This refers to the Jews.

# For through Jesus we both have access

Here "we both" refers to Paul, the believing Jews, and the believing non-Jews. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])

# in one Spirit

All believers, both Jewish and Gentile, are given the right to enter into the presence of God the Father by the same Holy Spirit.
