1 Peter 2:11-20
11BelovedG27, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstainG568 from fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, which warG4754 against the soulG5590; 12having your behavior seemly among the GentilesG1484; that, wherein they speakG2635 against you as evil-doers, they may by your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they behold, glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in the dayG2250 of visitationG1984.
13Be subjectG5293 to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sakeG1223: whether to the kingG935, as supreme; 14or unto governorsG2232, as sentG3992 by him for vengeanceG1557 on evil-doers and for praiseG1868 to them that do well. 15For soG3779 isG1510 the will of GodG2316, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444: 16as freeG1658, and not using your freedomG1657 for a cloak of wickednessG2549, but as bondservants of GodG2316. 17HonorG5091 all men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG81. FearG5399 GodG2316. HonorG5091 the kingG935.
18Servants, bein subjectionG5293 to your mastersG1203 with all fearG5401; not onlyG3440 to the goodG18 and gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to the froward. 19For this is acceptable, if for conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a manG3778 endureth griefs, sufferingG3958 wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if, when ye sinG264, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and sufferG3958 for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with GodG2316.
