1 Peter 2:13-17 ▼

13 Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the LORD, whether to a king, as the highest,

14 whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evildoers, and a praise of those doing good;

15 because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men—

16 as free, and not having freedom as the cloak of evil, but as servants of God;

17 give honor to all; love the brotherhood; fear God; honor the king.
