⁵ like living stones let yourselves be built^[a] into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.^(A)

¹¹ And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end,^(A)

¹⁹ Or do you not know that your body is a temple^[a] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?^(A)

¹¹ Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through such disobedience as theirs.
