For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

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

Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility. Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father.

That’s plain enough, isn’t it? You’re no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You’re no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he’s using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.

for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father.

In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

so that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
