1Peter:2:11-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Dearly beloved ,
I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims ,
abstain from fleshly lusts ,
which war against the soul ;
*
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles :
that ,
whereas they speak against you as evildoers ,
they may by your good works ,
which they shall behold ,
glorify God in the day of visitation .
*
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord '
s sake :
whether it be to the king ,
as supreme ;
*
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 .
*
For so is the will of God ,
that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men :
