“For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:” 1 Peter 2:15
This is the origin of the verse above:
“Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 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.” 1 Peter 2:11-12
Be a honest person, filled with good works and do not join unbelievers in their misdeeds because you are a stranger and pilgrim in this world; you are not of the world and as such you ought to live your life solely with the standards of your place of origin and the Bible shows:
“Ye are of God, little children…” 1 John 4:4
This God was manifest in the flesh as Jesus and walked on the earth; If he did no sin and could not be accused of sin, infact he was accused of saving lives instead of deceiving or destroying them, then live your life with such a standard.
He isn’t saying people would not falsely accuse you, speak against you or even punish you for doing the good but, keep on, remain in God’s will for your life always- that is the most important location on the earth.
“For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.” 1 Peter 3:17
