Psa 23:4  For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
Psa 23:5  Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!

Eph 2:15  Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace
Eph 2:16  And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
Eph 2:17  And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh.
Eph 2:18  For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father."
