1 Peter 2:11, 15, 22-25

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may 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, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
