Called to obey The "so then" in vs. 12 links 2:12-16 back to 1:27 - conduct yourself. 2:1-11 is one conclusion drawn from 1:27, and 2:12-16 is the other. There are two points of obedience: 1) (vs. 12) to work out their salvation; and 2) do all things without grumbling. To what does the "but" in 2:17 refer? I think it goes way back to 1:25. In that way, 17-18 don't really fit with this arc (12-16).
