Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

2:13 εγγυς εγενηθητε ¦ εγενηθητε εγγυς CT
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
2:13 Only by being united with Christ Jesus through trust in him can a person be reconciled to God (see Rom 5:10-12; 2 Cor 5:18-21). The blood of Christ—his sacrificial death—makes this possible (see Eph 1:7; Rom 3:24-25; 5:9; Col 1:20; cp. Heb 9:12-15; 1 Pet 1:19; 1 Jn 1:7; Rev 1:5; 5:9).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
The connecting word But introduces a contrast relationship. The current condition of the Ephesian Gentile believers, after they believed in Christ, is that they are near to God. That is in contrast to their previous condition, before they believed in Christ, of being separated from God.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὑμεῖς οἵ ποτε ὄντες μακρὰν, ἐγενήθητε ἐγγὺς ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ
you_all who once being far /were/_become near by the blood ˱of˲_the Messiah
Not belonging to God due to sin is spoken of as being far away from God. Belonging to God because of the blood of Christ is spoken of as being brought near to God. Alternate translation: [you who once did not belong to God now belong to God because of the blood of Christ]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ
in by the blood ˱of˲_the Messiah
