1 Peter 2:11

A Call To Good Works

¹⁰ who were once not a people, and are now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness. ¹¹ Beloved, I call upon you, as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul, ¹² having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.
