Epistle
Eph 2.19-3.7
Read in contextBrethren,
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.
