Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God '
s sake :
whether it be to the king as excelling ;
drb @
1Peter:2:14 @
Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers ,
and for the praise of the good :
drb @
1Peter:2:15 @
For so is the will of God ,
that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men :
drb @
1Peter:2:16 @
As free ,
and not as making liberty a cloak for malice ,
but as the servants of God .
drb @
1Peter:2:17 @
Honour all men .
Love the brotherhood .
Fear God .
Honour the king .
drb @
1Peter:2:18 @
Servants ,
be subject to your masters with all fear ,
not only to the good and gentle ,
but also to the froward .
drb @
1Peter:2:19 @
For this is thankworthy ,
if for conscience towards God ,
a man endure sorrows ,
suffering wrongfully .
drb @
1Peter:2:20 @
For what glory is it ,
if committing sin ,
and being buffeted for it ,
you endure ?
But if doing well you suffer patiently ;
this is thankworthy before God .
drb @
1Peter:2:21 @
For unto this are you called :
because Christ also suffered for us ,
leaving you an example that you should follow his steps .
drb @
1Peter:2:22 @
Who did no sin ,
neither was guile found in his mouth .
drb @
1Peter:2:23 @
Who ,
when he was reviled ,
did not revile :
when he suffered ,
he threatened not :
but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly .
drb @
1Peter:2:24 @
Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree :
that we ,
being dead to sins ,
should live to justice :
by whose stripes you were healed .
drb @
1Peter:2:25 @
For you were as sheep going astray ;
but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls .
