1 Peter 2

¹¹ Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

¹² Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

¹³ Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

¹⁵ For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
