1 Peter 2:12-20
121KeepG2192 your behaviorG391 excellentG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 they 2slanderG2635 you as evildoersG2555, they may 3becauseG1537 of your goodG2570 deedsG2041, as they observeG2029 them, 4glorifyG1392 GodG2316 5on the dayG2250 of 6visitationG1984.
137SubmitG5293 yourselves for the Lord’sG2962 sakeG1223 to everyG3956 humanG442 institutionG2937, whetherG1535 to a kingG935 as the one in authorityG5242, 14orG1535 to governorsG2232 as sentG3992 8by him 9for the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555 and the 10praiseG1868 of those who doG17 rightG17. 15For 1112suchG3779 is the willG2307 of GodG2316, that by doingG15 rightG15 you 13silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 peopleG444. 16Act as 14freeG1658 peopleG1658, and 15do not useG2192 your freedomG1657 as a 16coveringG1942 for evilG2549, but use it as 17bond-servantsG1401 of GodG2316. 1718HonorG5091 allG3956 peopleG3956, 19loveG25 the brotherhoodG81, 20fearG5399 GodG2316, 21honorG5091 the 22kingG935.
1823ServantsG3610, beG5293 subjectG5293 to your mastersG1203 with allG3956 respectG5401, not onlyG3440 to thoseG3588 who are goodG18 and 24gentleG1933, but alsoG2532 to thoseG3588 who are 25harshG4646. 19For thisG3778 finds favorG5485, ifG1487 for the sakeG1223 of 26conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 a personG5100 enduresG5297 27griefG3077 when sufferingG3958 unjustlyG95. 20For whatG4169 creditG2811 is there ifG1487, when you sinG264 and are harshlyG2852 treatedG2852, you endureG5278 it withG5278 patienceG5278? But ifG1487 28when you doG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 and sufferG3958 for it you patientlyG5278 endureG5278 it, thisG3778 finds favorG5485 with GodG2316.
