God’s Elect Election Will Be God’s Future Holy Priesthood

English “envy” emboldened in James 4:5 was translated from Greek masculine noun 5355 phthonos that best  reflects God’s definition translated into “envy” in Titus 3:3 in the context of Titus 3:1-8 and into “envies” in 1Peter 2:1 in the context of 1Peter 2:1-6 “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings” “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” “If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious” “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious” “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” “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded”. The “spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God” in 1Peter 2:5 are the aforementioned human edifices as dwelling places for God’s Spirit.
