  1. Dear friends, I urge you,as aliens and strangersin the world, to abstainfrom sinful desires,which war against your soul.1 Peter 2:11

  2. Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.Genesis 11:4

  3. So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. Genesis 11:8

  4. By faith [Abraham] made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents... For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.Hebrews 11:9-10

  5. All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.Hebrews 11:13

  6. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.Hebrews 11:14-15

  7. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.Hebrews 11:16

  8. Dear friends, I urge you,as aliens and strangersin the world, to abstainfrom sinful desires,which war against your soul.1 Peter 2:11

  9. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you”Romans 12:2 – The Message

  10. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.1 Peter 2:12

  11. You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.1 Peter 2:9

  14. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself,just as he is pure.1 John 3:2-3
