19 So now you non-Jewish people are not visitors or strangers, but you are citizens together with God’s holy people. You belong to God’s family.
20 You believers are like a building that God owns. That building was built on the foundation that the apostles and prophets prepared. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in that building.
21 The whole building is joined together in Christ, and he makes it grow and become a holy temple in the Lord.
22 And in Christ you are being built together with his other people. You are being made into a place where God lives through the Spirit.
