1Peter:2:13-25
kjc@1Peter:2:13 @ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
kjc@1Peter:2:14 @ Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
kjc@1Peter:2:15 @ For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
kjc@1Peter:2:16 @ As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
kjc@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
kjc@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the forward.
kjc@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
kjc@1Peter:2:20 @ For what glory is it, if, when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
kjc@1Peter:2:21 @ For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
kjc@1Peter:2:22 @ Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
kjc@1Peter:2:23 @ Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judges righteously:
kjc@1Peter:2:24 @ Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
kjc@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
