dby - 1Peter:2:13-25

dby@1Peter:2:13 @ Be in subjection [therefore] to every human institution for the Lord's sake; whether to [the] king as supreme,

dby@1Peter:2:14 @ or to rulers as sent by him, for vengeance on evildoers, and praise to them that do well.

dby@1Peter:2:15 @ Because so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance of senseless men;

dby@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, and not as having liberty as a cloak of malice, but as God's bondmen.

dby@1Peter:2:17 @ Shew honour to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king.

dby@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, [be] subject with all fear to your masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the ill-tempered.

dby@1Peter:2:19 @ For this [is] acceptable, if one, for conscience sake towards God, endure griefs, suffering unjustly.

dby@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory [is it], if sinning and being buffeted ye shall bear [it]? but if, doing good and suffering, ye shall bear [it], this is acceptable with God.

dby@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:

dby@1Peter:2:22 @ who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

dby@1Peter:2:23 @ who, [when] reviled, reviled not again; [when] suffering, threatened not; but gave [himself] over into the hands of him who judges righteously;

dby@1Peter:2:24 @ who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.

dby@1Peter:2:25 @ For ye were going astray as sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
