1 Peter 2:12-15

12and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.

13Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme

14or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good.

15For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
