¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(A)strangers and foreigners, but you are ^(B)fellow citizens with the ^[a]saints, and are of ^(C)God’s household,

⁶ but Christ was faithful as ^(A)a Son over His house—^(B)whose house we are, ^(C)if we hold firmly to our ^(D)confidence and the boast of our ^[a](E)hope.

^5 (A)you also, as living stones, ^[a]are being built up as a ^(B)spiritual house for a holy ^(C)priesthood, to ^(D)offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For it is time for judgment ^(A)to begin ^[a]with ^(B)the household of God; and if it ^(C)begins ^[b]with us first, what will be the outcome for those ^(D)who do not obey the ^(E)gospel of God?
