Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In contrast toJohn 18:36
The Kingdom not of this world is still a Kingdom you enter: delivered out of the power of darkness, translated into the Son's.
“Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.””
In parallel withEphesians 2:19
Translation becomes citizenship: no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints.
“So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,”
That reaches back to this verse
In contrast to (this verse)John 18:36
Kingdoms of this world take people by force; the Father translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love.
“Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.””
