You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
spiritual sacrifices -- not the animal sacrifices of the OT priesthood, but one’s own self as a living sacrifice. Romans 12:1-2. Hebrews 13:15-16; Romans 15:16, Ephesians 5:2; Revelation 8:3.
