Holman Christian Standard Bible

A Call to Good Works

¹¹ Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and temporary residents^(A) to abstain^(B) from fleshly^(C) desires that war against you.^{[a](D) 12} Conduct^(E) yourselves honorably among the Gentiles,^[b] so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do what is evil, they will, by observing your good works, glorify God on the day of visitation.^[c](F)
