²⁷ I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

³ I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.^[a]

¹⁴ So the Word became human^[a] and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.^[b] And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

²³ They will never again pollute themselves with their idols^[a] and vile images and rebellion, for I will save them from their sinful apostasy.^[b] I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

⁹ For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.^{[a] 10} So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

¹⁶ And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:

¹¹ I will live among you, and I will not despise you. ¹² I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

²² I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

²⁸ “And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
