1 Peter 2:13-16

131SubmitG5293 yourselves for the Lord’sG2962 sakeG1223 to everyG3956 humanG442 institutionG2937, whetherG1535 to a kingG935 as the one in authorityG5242,

14orG1535 to governorsG2232 as sentG3992 2by him 3for the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555 and the 4praiseG1868 of those who doG15 rightG15.

15For 56suchG3779 is the willG2307 of GodG2316 that by doingG15 rightG15 you may 7silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444.

16Act as 8freeG1658 menG1658, and 9do not useG2192 your freedomG1657 as a coveringG1942 for evilG2549, but use it as 10bondslavesG1401 of GodG2316.
