Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or saints:
“I have misplaced the Van Allen belt

the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.”

“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 2:19-22.
