TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:21 Joined together in Christ, Gentile and Jewish Christians become a holy temple for the Lord, because the Lord himself is among his people (see Matt 18:20; 28:20; 1 Cor 3:16; 1 Pet 2:4-5).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πᾶσα οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη, αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον

/the/_whole (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν ᾧ πᾶσα ἡ οἰκοδομὴ συναρμολογουμένη αὔξει εἰς ναὸν ἅγιον ἐν Κυρίῳ)

Paul continues to speak of Christ’s family as if it were a building. In the same way that a builder fits stones together while building, so Christ is fitting us together. Alternate translation: [all of us, as we grow together, become a holy group that worships God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν ᾧ & ἐν Κυρίῳ

in whom & in /the/_Lord

These metaphors express the strongest kind of relationship possible between Christ and those who believe in him. Alternate translation: [In Christ … in the Lord Jesus]
