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.
