1 Peter 2:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,

¹² Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
