*
Submit yourselves (
5649 )
to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake :
whether it be to the king ,
as supreme (
5723 );
*
Or unto governors ,
as unto them that are sent (
5746 )
by him for the punishment of evildoers ,
and for the praise of them that do well .
*
For so is (
5748 )
the will of God ,
that with well doing (
5723 )
ye may put to silence (
5721 )
the ignorance of foolish men :
*
As free ,
and not using (
5723 )
your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness ,
but as the servants of God .
*
Honour (
5657 )
all men .
Love (
5720 )
the brotherhood .
Fear (
5737 )
God .
Honour (
5720 )
the king .
*
Servants ,
be subject (
5746 )
to your masters with all fear ;
not only to the good and gentle ,
but also to the froward .
*
For this is thankworthy ,
if a man for conscience toward God endure (
5719 )
grief ,
suffering (
5723 )
wrongfully .
*
For what glory is it ,
if ,
when ye be buffeted (
5746 )
for your faults (
5723 ),
ye shall take it patiently (
5692 )?
but if ,
when ye do well (
5723 ),
and suffer (
5723 )
for it ,
ye take it patiently (
5692 ),
this is acceptable with God .
*
For even hereunto were ye called (
5681 ):
because Christ also suffered (
5627 )
for us ,
leaving (
5723 )
us an example ,
that ye should follow (
5661 )
his steps :
*
Who did (
5656 )
no sin ,
neither was guile found (
5681 )
in his mouth :
*
Who ,
when he was reviled (
5746 ),
reviled not again (
5707 );
when he suffered (
5723 ),
he threatened (
5707 )
not ;
but committed (
5707 )
himself to him that judgeth (
5723 )
righteously :
*
Who his own self bare (
5656 )
our sins in his own body on the tree ,
that we ,
being dead (
5637 )
to sins ,
should live (
5661 )
unto righteousness :
by whose stripes ye were healed (
5681 ).
*
For ye were (
5713 )
as sheep going astray (
5746 );
but are now returned (
5648 )
unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls .
