I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul, having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation, submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, to the king, as supreme, to governors, as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, for the praise of them that do well,
