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.
One of the things that seems evident from the apostle is that when he speaks of us as being priests unto God he generally, if not in every case, speaks of us as being in the company of priests. A priesthood is not just a priest by himself. We should never think of ourselves as a priest totally on our own and without all of the others. Together, we constitute a holy priesthood.
