1 Peter 2:11-20

11BelovedG27, I exhortG3870 [you], as strangers and sojourners, to abstainG568 from fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, which warG4754 against the soulG5590;

12having your conversation honest among the GentilesG1484, that [as to that] in which they speakG2635 against you as evildoersG2555, they may through [your] goodG2570 worksG2041, [themselves] witnessing [them], glorifyG1392 1GodG2316 in [the] dayG2250 of visitationG1984.

13Be in subjectionG5293 [therefore] to every humanG442 institution for the Lord's sakeG1223; whether to [the] kingG935 as supreme,

14or to rulers as sentG3992 by him, for vengeanceG1557 on evildoersG2555, and praiseG1868 to them that do well.

15Because soG3779 isG1510 the will of 2GodG2316, that by well-doing ye put to silence the ignoranceG56 of senseless menG444;

16as freeG1658, and not as having liberty as a cloak of maliceG2549, but as 3God's bondmen.

17Shew honour to all, loveG25 the brotherhoodG81, fearG5399 4GodG2316, honour the kingG935.

18Servants, [be] subjectG5293 with all fearG5401 to your mastersG1203, not onlyG3440 to the goodG18 and gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to the ill-tempered.

19For this [is] acceptable, if oneG5100, for conscienceG4893 sakeG1223 towards 5GodG2316, endure griefs, sufferingG3958 unjustly.

20For what glory [is it], if sinningG264 and being buffeted ye shall bear [it]? but if, doing goodG15 and sufferingG3958, ye shall bear [it], this is acceptable with 6GodG2316.
