web @1Peter:2:13 @Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord 's sake : whether to the king , as supreme ; web @1Peter:2:14 @or to governors , as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well . web @1Peter:2:15 @For this is the will of God , that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men : web @1Peter:2:16 @as free , and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness , but as bondservants of God . web @1Peter:2:17 @Honor all men . Love the brotherhood . Fear God . Honor the king . web @1Peter:2:18 @Servants , be in subjection to your masters with all fear ; not only to the good and gentle , but also to the wicked . web @1Peter:2:19 @For it is commendable if someone endures pain , suffering unjustly , because of conscience toward God . web @1Peter:2:20 @For what glory is it if , when you sin , you patiently endure beating ? But if , when you do well , you patiently endure suffering , this is commendable with God . web @1Peter:2:21 @For to this you were called , because Christ also suffered for us , leaving you {TR reads "us " instead of "you "} an example , that you should follow his steps , web @1Peter:2:22 @who did not sin , "neither was deceit found in his mouth ." {Isaiah strkjv @53:9 } web @1Peter:2:23 @Who , when he was cursed , didn 't curse back . When he suffered , didn 't threaten , but committed himself to him who judges righteously ; web @1Peter:2:24 @who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree , that we , having died to sins , might live to righteousness ; by whose stripes you were healed . web @1Peter:2:25 @For you were going astray like sheep ; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer {"Overseer " is from the Greek episkopon , which can mean overseer , curator , guardian , or superintendent .} of your souls .
