1 Peter 2:12

English Standard Version

12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. (Isa 10:3; Mt 5:16; Lu 19:44; 2Co 8:21; 2Co 9:13; Ga 1:24; Php 2:15; Tit 2:8; 1Pe 3:16) 

New International Version

12 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. 

New International Reader’s Version

12 People who don’t believe might say you are doing wrong. But lead good lives among them. Then they will see your good deeds. And they will give glory to God on the day he comes to judge. 

King James Version

12 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.
