1 Peter 2:11

‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are but sojourners and foreign residents with Me.

“Hear my prayer, O Yahweh, and give ear to my cry for help; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a sojourner with You, A foreign resident like all my fathers.

but I see a different law in my members, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Therefore I exhort you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice—living, holy, and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,

But we are convinced about you, beloved, of things that are better and that belong to salvation, though we are speaking in this way.

All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as exiles, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen

And if you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your sojourn,

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you.

This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
