1 Peter 2:11

A Call To Good Works

¹⁰ who once were not a people, but now God's people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy. ¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; ¹² having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that as to that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may through your good works, themselves witnessing them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
