Alcuin of York, on Rev 5:10

Alcuin of York · c. A.D. 735–804

Rev 5:10 · Douay-Rheims

“And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.”

On this verse:

“And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth. The elect are kings, when, by restraining their bodies, it is as if they were reigning over a subjected earth with the law of virtue, which is why they affirm they have received a kingdom on earth too. They are priests because they offer themselves to God by chastising themselves every day, according to this: A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit. [Ps. 50:19]”
