Ephesians 2:19-22 NLT as it is written and as it is practiced

A Temple for the Lord
19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. 20 Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. 21 We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. 22 Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.

How it's practiced:
A Temple for the Lord
19 So now you Gentiles are strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people if we accept you. You are members of God’s family after you commit to us permanently. 20Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the Church Board and a few influential people. And the cornerstone is the Pastor. 21 We are carefully joined together with some being over others, becoming a holy temple for the Lord sometimes. 22 Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit if you don't make too much ruckus. After all we have to stay in control.
