1 Peter 2:9-12
9But ye are an electG1588 raceG1085, a royal priesthoodG2406, a holyG40 nationG1484, a peopleG2992 for God’s own possessionG4047, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who calledG2564 you out of darknessG4655 into his marvellous lightG5457: 10who in timeG4218 past were no peopleG2992, but nowG1161 are the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: who had not obtained mercyG1653, but nowG1161 have obtained mercyG1653.
11BelovedG27, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstainG568 from fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, which warG4754 against the soulG5590; 12having your behavior seemly among the GentilesG1484; that, wherein they speakG2635 against you as evil-doers, they may by your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they behold, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in the dayG2250 of visitationG1984.
