¹⁹ So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, ²⁰ built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,^(A) with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. ²¹ The whole building, being put together^(B) by Him, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord.^{(C) 22} You also are being built together^(D) for God’s dwelling^(E) in the Spirit.

⁸ This grace was given to me—the least of all the saints—to proclaim to the Gentiles the incalculable riches^(A) of the Messiah, ⁹ and to shed light for all about the administration of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created^(B) all things. ¹⁰ This is so God’s multi-faceted wisdom^(C) may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens.^{(D) 11} This is according to His eternal purpose^(E) accomplished in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.

²¹ to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.^(A)
