Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.
[Exo.19:6]
Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests. ■ Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.
[Rev.5:9,10 | I Pet.2:9]
Ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God. ■ Priests of God and of Christ.
[Isa.61:6 | Rev.20:6]
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. ■ By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
[Heb.3:1 | Heb.13:15]
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. ■ The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
[Eph.2:10 | I Cor.3:17]
