¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(A)strangers and foreigners, but you are ^(B)fellow citizens with the ^[a]saints, and are of ^(C)God’s household, ²⁰ having been ^(D)built on ^(E)the foundation of ^(F)the apostles and prophets, ^(G)Christ Jesus Himself being the ^(H)cornerstone, ^21 (I)in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into ^(J)a holy ^[b]temple in the Lord, ²² in whom you also are being ^(K)built together into a ^(L)dwelling of God in the Spirit.

⁶ to be specific, that the Gentiles are ^(A)fellow heirs and ^(B)fellow members of the body, and ^(C)fellow partakers of the promise in ^(D)Christ Jesus through the gospel,

¹⁵ but ^[a]speaking the truth ^(A)in love, ^[b]we are to ^(B)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the ^(C)head, that is, Christ, ¹⁶ from whom ^(D)the whole body, being fitted and held together ^[c]by what every joint supplies, according to the ^[d]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself ^(E)in love.

²⁹ for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, ³⁰ because we are ^(A)parts of His ^(B)body.
