Ephesians 2:19

Because of this union Christians are no longer strangers (foreigners) and aliens in relation to believers of former ages. They are fellow citizens with all the saints, namely, believers who lived before Pentecost. Elsewhere Paul spoke of the local church as a household (1 Timothy 3:15), but here the household in view is all believers of all ages. [Note: See Hoehner, Ephesians, pp. 395-96.]
