13 Be in subjection to every human creation because of the Lord, whether to the king as being supreme, 14 or to governors as being sent by him for punishment to evildoers and praise to doers of good, 15 because the will of God is this: doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of foolish men, 16 as free, and not having the freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone: love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. 1 Peter 2:13-17, Berean Literal Bible.
