Scripture Sunday

 
 
Ephesians 2:17-22

 
17 And He came and preached the glad tidings of peace to you who were afar off and peace to those who were near.
18 For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one Holy Spirit to the Father (so that we are able to approach Him).
19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s own household.
20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.
21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord (a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord).
22 In Him (and in fellowship with one another) you yourselves also are being built up into this structure with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit
