1 Peter 2:11, 15, 22-25

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.

For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people.

“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
