19 You Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens with everyone else who belongs to the family of God.
20 You are like a building with the apostles and prophets as the foundation and with Christ as the most important stone.
21 Christ is the one who holds the building together and makes it grow into a holy temple for the Lord.
22 And you are part of that building Christ has built as a place for God's own Spirit to live.
