1 Peter 2:10-12
Young's Literal Translation
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.
