Ye also ,
as lively stones ,
are built up a spiritual house , (
note :)
Continuing ,
he compares us now to priests ,
placed for this purpose in the spiritual temple ,
that we should serve him with a spiritual worship ,
that is ,
with holiness and righteousness :
but as the temple ,
so is the priesthood built upon Christ ,
in who alone all our spiritual offerings are accepted .(:
note )
an holy priesthood ,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices ,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ .
