OET (OET-LV) and having_come, he_good_message_preached:
peace to_you_all who were far, and peace to_the ones near,
OET (OET-RV) When the messiah came, he announced the good message: peace to you all who were far from God, and peace also to the ones who were near,
Connecting Statement:
Paul tells the Ephesians that Gentile believers are also now just as much a part of God’s people as are Jewish believers. The Jewish apostles and prophets are theirs, as is Christ, and they all form a temple for God in the Spirit.

τοῖς ἐγγύς
who_‹were› ˱to˲_the_‹ones› near
Paul pictures the Jews, who were God’s people by birth, as though they were physically close to God.

• The Greek text lacks the words Gentiles and Jews, but they are implied (see Eph 2:13; see also study note on 1:12-13).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
