1 Peter 2:13-20
Submission to Authorities

13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

13:

14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

14:

15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

15:

16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

16:

17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

17:

18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

18:

19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

19:

20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

20:
