9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
...
15For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
