11. Beloved, while you are strangers and exiles, I urge you not to indulge in selfish passions which wage war on the soul.

12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

14. the governors as sent by him to punish evildoers and to encourage those who do good.

19. For there is merit in putting up with unprovoked suffering, for the sake of God.

20. For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

20. What merit would there be in taking a beating when you have done wrong? But if you endure punishment when you have done well, that is a grace before God.

21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

21. This is your calling: remember Christ who suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you may follow in his way.
