| If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, … or as a busybody in other men’s matters.1 |
| Let not … your good be evil spoken of.2 – Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles.3 |
| Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? … Ye are the temple of the living God. … Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing.4 |
| Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.5 |
