This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
2:11 Battling worldly desires
11 Dear friends, I’m urging you as travellers and foreigners to keep away from the world’s temptations, which are in a battle against your soul. 12 Even as you, friends, live among the world’s people, maintain your good conduct so that when they slander you by calling you ‘evil’, at the time of God’s judgement they’ll have to honour god when they see your good behaviour.
13 Submit yourselves to every human authority, because you obey the master, whether it’s to the king who rules, 14 or the governors he sends to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 God wants you chosen people to silence the ignorant talk of foolish people by doing good. 16 Live like free people, but don’t use that freedom to cover up evil—use it as God’s slaves. 17 Honour others and be loving towards your fellow believers. Revere God as well as honouring the king.
