After demonstrating from the Old Testament that the things he was saying were repeating earlier promises of God, Peter then declares what it should result in: walking in purity, so that those who are outside don't speak of you as evil doers, but instead see their good works and glorify God in the day of visitation. This means that we have a duty to obey the civil magistrate for the sake of the glory of God, specifically because they were sent for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do good. It is important to remember that it is through good works that we can put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. When we say we are free in Christ in order to sin, we give an excuse for persecution.
