Eph 2:2

This, According to the will of the Prince of the power of the Air, the Spirit; 'he calls the Devil the Prince of the power of the Air, because he directed and moved the Air in all its changes,' before he fell from Heaven.

 

Eph 2:11

And were called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision. He says they were called uncircumciscd in the flesh, like what was seen to, be Circumcision in the flesh, and was cut by hands, which he calls the work of hands. He who has made them both one, and hath destroyed the hedge that stood in the middle, etc.; that is to say, that Christ was to us the cause of peace, and has brought us all near to one equality; and abolished the Law, and hath made Circumcision and Uncircumision one, and has destroyed the hedge, which was the Law, which stood between the Nation and the Gentiles, and prevented them from mixing in love with one another; and by His Passion and His death He destroyed the distinction between Circumcised and Uncircumcised; and abolished the law of fleshly commandments useful to mortal beings, in order to give His perfect and unchangeable commandments, which are the promises of the Resurrection and the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

Eph 2:17

And He came and preached peace to all that were far off and that were near.  He calls the Jews them that were nigh, because of the discipline of the Law; but the Gentiles them that were far off, because they were far from Religion.

 

Eph 2:21

This, In whom the whole body joined together and compacted in every joint, the Greek says, in every touch; he says that Christ is to us in the position of a corner-stone, in Whom both those who have believed from among the Jews and those from among the Gentiles are united; and by means of the New Birth we receive power to complete one building. This, In every touch, because every stone is under our touch : and from some habit he speaks thus; and it is evident that in place of a man he speaks of a stone.
