1Peter:2:13-25
vw@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man because of the Lord; whether to the king as supreme,
vw@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
vw@1Peter:2:15 @ For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men;
vw@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, yet not using liberty as a pretext for evil, but as bondservants of God.
vw@1Peter:2:17 @ Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
vw@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and fair, but also to the perverse.
vw@1Peter:2:19 @ For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering undeservedly.
vw@1Peter:2:20 @ For what praise is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you endure it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you endure it patiently, this is favorable with God.
vw@1Peter:2:21 @ For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
vw@1Peter:2:22 @ Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth;
vw@1Peter:2:23 @ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself over to Him who judges righteously;
vw@1Peter:2:24 @ who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
vw@1Peter:2:25 @ For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
