1 Peter 2:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ Once you were no people but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.

Live as Servants of God

¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul. ¹² Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
