1 Peter 2:11-13

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹¹ Dear brothers, you are people who do not belong to this world. You are like visitors who are on a journey. I beg you, do not do the things your body wants to do. Those things fight against your soul.

¹² Live good lives among the people who do not believe. They may talk about you as if you do wrong things. But when they see the good things you do, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you.

¹³ Obey every officer of the government to please the Lord. Obey the king because he is over all.
