Since the TEV is the work of the ABS in cooperation with the UBS, the
descriptions of Louw & Nida are helpful.
37.69 BASILIKOS, H, ON; BASILEIOS, ON; pertaining to a king _ "royal, kingly."
omit
BASILEIOS: hUMEIS DE GENOS EKLEKTON, BASILEION hIERATEUMA, EQNOS hAGION, "you
are the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the holy nation" 1 Peter 2:9. The
expression "his royal robes" Acts (12:21) may be rendered as "his clothing
which he had as king." and the phrase "the royal priesthood" may be rendered
as "priests who are like kings."
The rendering "royal priesthood" sounds to me in Enlish like "court priest."
