Battling worldly desires

1 Pet 2:11–17

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.

11 Beloved, I _am _exhorting as sojourners and aliens, to _be _keeping _away from _the fleshly desires, which are _warring against your soul,

12 having the good conduct of _you _all among the pagans, in _order _that at which they _are _slandering against _you _all as of _evildoers, by observing your good works, they _may _glorify the god in the_day of _visitation.

13 Be _subjected to _every human creation because _of the master, whether to_the_king as being _above,

14 or to _governors as being _sent by him, because/for vengeance to _evildoers, but praise to _welldoers.

15 Because thus is the will of_ the _god, doing _good to _be _silencing the ignorance of_ the _foolish people.
,

16 as free live, and not having the freedom as a_cover-up of _the evil, but as slaves of_god.

17 Honor all, be _loving the brotherhood, be _revering the god, be _honouring the king.
