Bible Question: what is 1peter2:11-17 |
Bible Answer: Greetings Diamond Bible Baptist Church! 1 Peter 2:11-17 "Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king." (NASB) 1 Peter 2:11-17 is an excellent passage of scripture to dwell on and study that spurs us on towards excellence in our behavior, abstaining from fleshly pursuits, so that those who observe us in the world may give glory to God because of what we do.
