What is the difference ?

1 Pet 2:5,9

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

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

The Spiritual House here which is also a Chosen Generation,

and the Chosen in Christ here in Eph 1:4

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

And are a spiritual Holy Temple Eph 2:21-22

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

What is the difference?

What is the difference?

There is no difference at all. For they are simply different names for the Church Eph. 5:25.

And they are also the Building Material for the Temple of the Lord in Zech. 6:12-13, comprised of both jew and gentile.

Together, they all make up Spiritual Israel, the World that was Promised Salvation Is. 45:17.

1 Pet 2:4-10
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,
5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,"
8 and "A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense." They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
Eph 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Eph 2:20-22
20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,
21 in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
(NKJ)

come to God by submitting to Jesus, you are the elect, precious. Are the born again. Jesus will cause many to stumble because they try to do it with the intellect. But those who believe it the way it is written from the Holy Spirit are a royal priesthood. Those who learn from the Holy spirit are those who were predestined for adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself. We are being build up to all come together in one dwelling place in the Spirit.

 

[Epoisses]

The church is 'Spiritual Israel' for all the Dispies who didn't know that. And when I say church I mean all those who are converted or born-again and have the Holy Spirit.
