18 Thus through him is the way of approach for both of us in one Spirit, that way which approaches the eternal Father.
19 Your condition then is no longer one of alienation, strangeness, subjection. You have received the citizenship of the saints, you are members of a household, the house of God;
20 you are, as it were, stones in a temple built up on a foundation of apostles and prophets, the chief “corner-stone”
21 of which is Christ Jesus, on which stone the whole building rises, and each block is fitted into its place, until a temple to the Lord be framed,
22 a holy building wherein as the spiritual habitation of God you yourselves find your place and nature with all the rest.
