Ephesians 2:22 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

(2 c.) Ephesians 2:19-22 sum up the two-fold idea of this chapter — union of the Gentiles, with God and with God’s chosen people — in the metaphor of the One Temple, of which Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone, and which, both collectively and in the individuality of each part, grows into a habitation of God.

Ephesians 2:19-22

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
