1 Peter 2:11

A Call To Good Works

¹⁰ which in time past were not a people, yet are now the people of God, which were not under mercy: but now have obtained mercy. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers, and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which fight against the soul, ¹² and see that ye have honest conversation among the gentiles, that they which backbite you as evil doers, may see your good works and praise God in the day of visitation.
