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

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

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

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

²The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

³Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.

⁴There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

⁵Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

¹²In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;

¹⁶Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
