A Call to Good Works
11 Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents(B) to abstain(C) from fleshly(D) desires that war against you.[a](E) 12 Conduct(F) yourselves honorably among the Gentiles,[b] so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation.[c](G)
