"You are no longer foreigners and aliens,
but fellow citizens with God's people and
members of God's household, built on
the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as
the chief cornerstone. In him the whole
building is joined together and rises to
become a holy temple in the Lord. And in
him you too are being built together to
become a dwelling in which God lives by
his Spirit."
