Ephesians 1:23 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 23 The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ's body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence. | 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. |
