1Peter:2:13-20
acv@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore because of the Lord, ye should submit to every human establishment, whether to a king as being supreme,
acv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors as being sent by him for vengeance of evil-doers and praise of well-doers.
acv@1Peter:2:15 @ Because this way is the will of God, doing good to muzzle the ignorance of the foolish men.
acv@1Peter:2:16 @ As free, and not having your freedom as a cover-up of evil, but as bondmen of God.
acv@1Peter:2:17 @ Respect all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Respect the king.
acv@1Peter:2:18 @ Household servants, submitting to the masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wayward.
acv@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is graciousness, if, because of consciousness of God, any man endures sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
acv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what kind of credit is it, if, sinning and being beaten, ye will endure? But if, doing good and suffering, ye will endure, this is graciousness with God.
