emtv - 1Peter:2:13-25

emtv@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore subject yourselves to every human institution on account of the Lord: whether to the king as [to one] having authority,

emtv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as to those being sent for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise [of those] doing good.

emtv@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may silence the ignorance of foolish men-

emtv@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, yet not using freedom as a cover for wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

emtv@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all [people]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

emtv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, subject yourselves to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooked.

emtv@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is admirable, if because of conscience toward God someone endures pain, suffering unjustly.

emtv@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory [is it,] if when you sin and are beaten, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer [for it,] you endure, this is admirable before God.

emtv@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving behind an example for you, that you should follow in His footsteps,

emtv@1Peter:2:22 @ "Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth";

emtv@1Peter:2:23 @ who, being verbally abused, did not return verbal insults, when [He] suffered, [He] did not threaten, but committed [Himself] to Him who judges righteously;

emtv@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, in order that having died to sins, we might live unto righteousness-by whose stripes you were healed.

emtv@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep going astray, but you have turned back now to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
