1 Peter 2:11-13

New International Reader's Version

Living Godly Lives Among People Who Don’t Believe

¹¹ Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul. ¹² People who don’t believe might say you are doing wrong. But lead good lives among them. Then they will see your good deeds. And they will give glory to God on the day he comes to judge.

¹³ Follow the lead of every human authority. Do this for the Lord’s sake. Obey the emperor. He is the highest authority.
