Study Note
Peter describes believers as 'living stones' being built into a 'spiritual house' and 'a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.' The metaphor of the living stone builds on Jesus's self-identification as the cornerstone (1 Peter 2:6-7; Matthew 21:42) — each believer is a stone united to the living foundation. The priestly function is democratized: all believers, not just a caste, offer sacrifices — here defined as worship and righteous deeds. Ephesians 2:20-22 develops the same architectural metaphor, and together the passages underpin Protestant doctrines of the 'priesthood of all believers.'
