Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you many declare the prases of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
2 Peter 1:3
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own gory and goodness.
