⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel,

¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁵ For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is a Chaldee word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

¹⁷ and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

²⁵ This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.

³⁰ because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.

⁷ Therefore don't be partakers with them.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,

¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility thereby.

¹⁷ He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

¹⁸ For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

¹⁹ So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,

²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

²¹ in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

²² in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

⁵ that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.

⁶ And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba,{Abba is a Greek spelling for the Chaldee word for "Father" or "Daddy" used in a familiar, respectful, and loving way.} Father!"

⁷ So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

¹⁵ but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

¹⁶ from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

⁴ For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don't have the same function,

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

²⁶ For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹ If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
