    This verse doesn't deal with this doctrine. However 2 Peter 2:4-9 does. Exodus 19:6 is not speaking to the Levitical Priests but to the nation of Israel as a whole.

    Of course it does. Working out your own salvation means that someone must properly interpret the Bible for themsdelves and work out their salvation. You're incorrectly interpreting this verse.

    Show me any verse in the Bible that contains the words "Priesthood of believers." It's an interpretation of scripture not a literal reading of it. Your up.

    Is this what you wanted?

    I highlighted the second declaration about being a priesthood, the part about being believers, and where Peter identifies the audience as gentile believers (once were not a people).

    Just to add to what has been posted I will mention again Exodus 19:6 as well. These verses clearly mention the preisthood of the believer and define it.

    So what do these verses say that "Priesthood of the believer" entails?
