Paul's Righteousness - 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Their Head - 1 Peter 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
Their House - 5 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.
