11 Beloved, I urge you as ^lsojourners and ^mexiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, ⁿwhich wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and ^oglorify God on the day of visitation.

Suffering as a Christian

12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to ^ltest you, as though something strange were happening to you.
