I Peter
- 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
- 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.
- 15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
- 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
- 17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
