1 Peter 2v11-12

Heavenly father
give us grace today to abstain from all those things which war against our souls.. 

¹¹ Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims,
to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 
¹² having good behaviour among the nations,
so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, 
they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.
