1 Peter 2:11-16

11BelovedG27, I urgeG3870 you, asG5613 foreignersG3941 andG2532 exilesG3927, to abstainG568 fromG3588 the desiresG1939 of the fleshG4559, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 your soulG5590. 12ConductG2192G391 yourselvesG4771 with such honorG2570 amongG1722 theG3588 GentilesG1484 thatG2443, thoughG1722G3739 they slanderG2635 youG4771 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they may seeG2029 your goodG2570 deedsG2041 and glorifyG1392 GodG2316 onG1722 the dayG2250 He visits usG1984.

13Submit yourselvesG5293 for theG3588 Lord’sG2962 sakeG1223 to everyG3956 humanG442 institutionG2937, whetherG1535 to the kingG935 asG5613 the supremeG5242 authority, 14orG1535 to governorsG2232 asG5613 those sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 toG1519 punishG1557 those who do wrongG2555 andG1161 to praiseG1868 those who do rightG17. 15ForG3754 it isG1510 God’sG3588G2316 willG2307 thatG3779 by doing goodG15 you should silenceG5392 theG3588 ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444.

16Live in freedomG1658, but do not useG3361G2192 your freedomG1657 asG5613 a cover-upG1942 forG3588 evilG2549; live asG5613 servantsG1401 of GodG2316.
