رِسَالَةُ بُطْرُسَ ٱلرَّسُولِ ٱلْأُولَى 2:5

كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيِّينَ -كَحِجَارَةٍ حَيَّةٍ- بَيْتًا رُوحِيًّا، كَهَنُوتًا مُقَدَّسًا، لِتَقْدِيمِ ذَبَائِحَ رُوحِيَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
