:Compare 1 Corinthians 9:13, "Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live ''of the things'' of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?" ('''συμμερίζονται''' ''summerizontai''—Strong's ''4829'' '''συμμερίζομαι''' ''summerizomai'') and Hebrews 13:10 "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle." Also John 6:53-58.
:2 Peter 1:4 is read by many as referring to '''both''' the partaking of the [[Real presence]] of Jesus in the [[Eucharist]] '''and''' their participation in the indwelling life of the Holy Spirit of God, making them, both males and females, his adopted sons through the blood of Jesus Christ, and coheirs with him to eternal life. [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+6%3A52-58&version=RSVCE John 6:52-58]; [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A16-17&version=RSVCE Romans 8:16-17].<br>Others read it as directly referring solely to the dynamic effect of the blessing of the true redeeming life in Christ, and not as a specifically inclusive reference to the [[Eucharist]] too as an integral part of participating in his life.
