1 Peter 2:12 ASV

¹⁰  who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹¹  Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;

¹²  having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹³  Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

¹⁴  or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
