انتم لستم غرباء بَعْدُ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله/You are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God
انتم لستم غرباء بَعْدُ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل أفسس02/من17حتى22: يا إِخوَتِي، لَمَّا جَاءَ المَسِيحُ بَشَّرَكُم بِالسَّلامِ أَنْتُمُ البَعِيدِين، وبَشَّرَ بالسَّلامِ القَرِيبين، لأَنَّنَا بِهِ نِلْنَا نَحْنُ الاثْنَينِ في رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ الوُصُولَ إِلى الآب. إِذًا فَلَسْتُم بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ ولا نُزَلاء، بَلْ أَنْتُم أَهْلُ مَدِينَةِ القِدِّيسِينَ وأَهْلُ بَيْتِ الله،
بُنِيتُمْ على أَسَاسِ الرُّسُلِ والأَنْبِيَاء، والمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَة. فيهِ يَتَمَاسَكُ البِنَاءُ كُلُّه، فَيَرْتَفِعُ هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّسًا في الرَّبّ، وفيهِ أَنْتُم أَيْضًا تُبْنَونَ معًا مَسْكِنًا للهِ في الرُّوح.
You are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God
Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians 02/11-22/ Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands), that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman
John 04/39-42/ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.” So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. Many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
