Day-15

Ephesians 2:8-13, 19-22

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands--12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

弗2：8-13，19-22

8 你們得救是本乎恩，也因著信；這並不是出於自己，乃是　神所賜的； 9 也不是出於行為，免得有人自誇。 10 我們原是他的工作，在基督耶穌裏造成的，為要叫我們行善，就是　神所預備叫我們行的。 11 所以你們應當記念：你們從前按肉體是外邦人，是稱為沒受割禮的；這名原是那些憑人手在肉身上稱為受割禮之人所起的。 12 那時，你們與基督無關，在以色列國民以外，在所應許的諸約上是局外人，並且活在世上沒有指望，沒有　神。 13 你們從前遠離　神的人，如今卻在基督耶穌裏，靠著他的血，已經得親近了。

19 這樣，你們不再作外人和客旅，是與聖徒同國，是　神家裏的人了； 20 並且被建造在使徒和先知的根基上，有基督耶穌自己為房角石， 21 各（或譯：全）房靠他聯絡得合式，漸漸成為主的聖殿。 22 你們也靠他同被建造，成為　神藉著聖靈居住的所在。
