1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones. "Living stones" (Revised Version).
Christians, born again to eternal life, become living stones also built
into the spiritual temple of which Christ is the corner stone.
Are built up a spiritual house. The church. God's spiritual temple
of which the temple was a type.
An holy priesthood. Christ, the High Priest, hath anointed them
all as priests in his spiritual house. They need no human priest to
stand between them and God. Every Christian can offer up
spiritual sacrifices. See Hebrews 13:15 Ps 50:23 Ho 14:3 Ro 12:1.
The sacrifices of the Christian priest are prayer, praise, good deeds,
the consecration of our bodies and substance to God's service.
Acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. When offered in the name of
Christ.
