Ephesians 2:19-22

Made Alive by Grace and Made One in Christ

Paul moves from spiritual death to resurrection life by grace, then from covenant alienation to reconciled unity in Christ's one new people.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
