Living Before the World

¹¹ Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts ^(A)which war against the soul, ^12 (B)having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, ^(C)they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹⁴ Do all things ^(A)without ^[a]complaining and ^(B)disputing,^{[b] 15} that you may become blameless and ^[c]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as ^(C)lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding fast the word of life, so that ^(D)I may rejoice in the day of Christ that ^(E)I have not run in vain or labored in ^(F)vain.

¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, ^(A)that they may see your good works and ^(B)glorify your Father in heaven.
