9. Harmony of Matthew 5:17 and Ephesians 2:15

10. Matthew 5:17Ephesians 2:15 (New Living Translation) 17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 15 He did this [ broke down the middle wall of separation ] by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.

14. “eiro” means to join; “eirēnē” refers to the things joined together

15. To make peace, therefore, means “to join together that which is separated”
