15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.

Hebrews 3:2-6

2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, ^ajust as Moses also was faithful in all God’s ^{▼▼Greek his; also verses 5, 6} house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but ^cthe builder of all things is God.) 5 ^dNow Moses was faithful in all God’s house ^eas a servant, ^fto testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as ^ga son. And ^hwe are his house, if indeed we ⁱhold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope. ^{▼▼Some manuscripts insert firm to the end}

1 Peter 2:4-5

4 As you come to him, a living stone ^krejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 ^lyou yourselves like living stones are being built up as ^ma spiritual house, to be ⁿa holy priesthood, ^oto offer spiritual sacrifices ^pacceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
