The Duty of Honouring All Men
1 Peter 2:17
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.


All mankind are to be honoured —

1. Because all men are the children of one Almighty Father, and were made originally in His glorious image.

2. Because all men were made of one blood.

3. Because all men are gifted with the same common immortality.

4. Because all men have been redeemed by one common Saviour.

5. Because all men are susceptible of the same spiritual and everlasting life.

(H. Stowell, M. A.)
