Epistle

Eph 2.19-3.7

Read in context

Brethren,

2:19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

2:20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];

2:21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

2:22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

3:1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

3:2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3:3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

3:4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

3:5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

3:6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

3:7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
