1Peter:2:13-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then be in obedience to every ordinance of men because of the Lord ;
whether to a king ,
as being supreme ;
*
or to governors ,
as through Him having indeed been sent for vengeance on evildoers ,
but praise on well doers ,
*
because so is the will of God ,
doing good to silence the ignorance of foolish men ;
*
as free ,
and not having freedom as a cover of evil ,
but as slaves of God ;
*
honor all ,
love the brotherhood ,
fear God ,
honor the king .
*
Servants ,
be obedient to your masters in all fear ,
not only to those good and forbearing ,
but also to the perverse ones .
*
For this is a grace ,
if because of conscience toward God anyone bears grief ,
suffering unjustly .
*
For what glory is it if you patiently endure while sinning and being buffeted ?
But if you are suffering while doing good ,
and patiently endure ,
this is a grace from God .
*
For you were called to this ,
for even Christ suffered on our behalf ,
leaving behind an example for us ,
that you should follow His steps ;
* "
who did not sin ,
nor was guile found in His mouth ;"
Isaiah .

53:9
*
who ,
having been reviled ,
did not revile in return ;
suffering ,
He did not threaten ,
but gave Himself up to Him who was judging righteously ;
*
who "
Himself bore in His body our sins "
onto the tree ;
that dying to sins ,
we might live to righteousness ;
of whom , "
by His wound ,
you were healed .
*
For you were straying sheep ,"
Isaiah .
