1 PETER 2:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people — the explicit claim that God's will (thelēma theou) involves 'doing good' (agathopoios) to silence (phimaō, muzzle) the 'ignorant accusations' (aphrōn anthrōpōn) establishes that ethical conduct serves apologetic purposes. The silencing of accusations happens through the undeniable evidence of virtue.
