Original text and translations

Latin text Fratres, jam non estis hospites et advenae, sed estis cives sanctorum et domestici Dei, superaedificati supra fundamentum apostolorum et prophetarum, ipso summo angulari lapide Christo Jesu.

English translation Brethren, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone.
