1 Peter 2:12 BBE

¹⁰  In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

¹¹  My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

¹²  Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

¹³  Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

¹⁴  And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.
