1 Peter 2:10-12
Revised Geneva Translation
10 In the past, you were not a people, yet are now the people of God; who in the past were not under mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I urge you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
12 And have your behavior be honorable among the Gentiles, so that those who speak against you as evil doers may, by your good works which they shall see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
