16Act as 1freeG1658 menG1658, and 2do not useG2192 your freedomG1657 as a coveringG1942 for evilG2549, but use it as 3bondslavesG1401 of GodG2316. 174HonorG5091 allG3956 peopleG3956, 5loveG25 the brotherhoodG81, 6fearG5399 GodG2316, 7honorG5091 the 8kingG935.
189ServantsG3610, be submissiveG5293 to your mastersG1203 with allG3956 respectG5401, not onlyG3440 to thoseG3588 who are goodG18 and 10gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to thoseG3588 who are 11unreasonableG4646. 19For thisG3778 finds 12favorG5485, ifG1487 for the sakeG1223 of 13conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a personG5100 bearsG5297 up underG5297 sorrowsG3077 when sufferingG3958 unjustlyG95. 20For whatG4169 creditG2811 is there ifG1487, when you sinG264 and are harshlyG2852 treatedG2852, you endureG5278 it with patienceG5278? But ifG1487 14when you doG15 what is rightG15 and sufferG3958 for it you patientlyG5278 endureG5278 it, thisG3778 finds 15favorG5485 with GodG2316. 21For 16you have been calledG2564 for thisG3778 purpose, 17sinceG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 sufferedG3958 for you, leavingG5277 you 18an exampleG5261 for you to followG1872 in His stepsG2487, 22whoG3739 19committedG4160 noG3756 sinG266, norG3761 was any deceitG1388 foundG2147 in His mouthG4750; 2320and while being 21reviledG3058, He did not revileG486 in returnG486; while sufferingG3958, He utteredG546 noG3756 threatsG546, but kept entrustingG3860 Himself to Him who judgesG2919 righteouslyG1346; 24and He HimselfG846 2223boreG399 our sinsG266 in His bodyG4983 on the 2425crossG3586, soG2443 that we 26might dieG581 to 27sinG266 and liveG2198 to righteousnessG1343; for 28by His 29woundsG3468 you were 30healedG2390. 25For you were 31continually strayingG4105 likeG5613 sheepG4263, but nowG3568 you have returnedG1994 to the 32ShepherdG4166 and 33GuardianG1985 of your soulsG5590.
