1 Peter 2:11, 15, 22-25

Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul

For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men

who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
