Ephesians 2:17-22

The Voice

¹⁷ The Great Preacher of peace and love came for you, and His voice found those of you who were near and those who were far away. ¹⁸ By Him both have access to the Father in one Spirit. ¹⁹ And so you are no longer called outcasts and wanderers but citizens with God’s people, members of God’s holy family, and residents of His household. ²⁰ You are being built on a solid foundation: the message of the prophets and the voices of God’s chosen emissaries^[a] with Jesus, the Anointed Himself, the precious cornerstone. ²¹ The building is joined together stone by stone—all of us chosen and sealed in Him, rising up to become a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In Him you are being built together, creating a sacred dwelling place among you where God can live in the Spirit.
