以弗所書2:19-22

 

2:19 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是上帝家裡的人了；
2:20 並且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石，
2:21 各（或譯：全）房靠他聯絡得合式，漸漸成為主的聖殿。
2:22 你們也靠他同被建造，成為上帝藉著聖靈居住的所在。

 

¹⁹ Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. ²¹ In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. ²² And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

     以弗所書的重心是在於教會的建造，然而教會不是建築物，是受呼召之人的集合。
