1 Peter 2.4-10 is a foundational passage to the doctrine of the Priesthood of the Believer—a doctrine emphasized by Luther during the Reformation. Over the years scholars have differed significantly on the importance of 1 Peter’s contribution to the Priesthood of the Believer and what it means. To shed light on it, an original exegetical investigation into the Greek text, situated in its original historical and literary context, follows. The apostle Peter penned the letter to one of the widest audiences of all New Testament epistles. The audience is a persecuted, geographically isolated, minority people who have every reason to isolate themselves from the unreached and often hostile people around them. Despite the bleak situation, 1 Peter 2.4-10 imparts to its audience rich identities as the “chosen people” of God who are founded on Christ, who is the cornerstone. The resulting contribution to the New Testament doctrine of the Priesthood of the Believer is that New Testament disciples must understand themselves not only as those who have the privilege of direct access to God the Father (as only an Old Testament priest would have), but also as those who have the responsibility to declare God’s praises, even in the most persecuted contexts.
