Dearly belovedG27, I beseechG3870 you asG5613 strangersG3941 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927, abstainG568 from fleshlyG4559 lustsG1939, whichG3748 warG4754 againstG2596 the soulG3588G5590; 12HavingG2192 yourG4771 conversationG3588G391 honestG2570 amongG1722 the GentilesG3588G1484: thatG2443, whereasG1722 they speak againstG2635 youG4771 asG5613 evildoersG2555, they mayG1392 byG1537 your goodG2570 worksG2041, which they shall beholdG2029, glorifyG1392 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 the dayG2250 of visitationG1984. 13

Submit yourselvesG5293 to everyG3956 ordinanceG2937 of manG442 forG1223 the Lord’s sakeG3588G2962: whether it beG1535 to the kingG935, asG5613 supremeG5242; 14OrG1535 unto governorsG2232, asG5613 unto them that are sentG3992 byG1223 himG846 forG1519 the punishmentG1557 of evildoersG2555, andG1161 for the praiseG1868 of them that do wellG17. 15ForG3754 soG3779 isG1510 the willG3588G2307 of GodG3588G2316, that with well doingG15 ye may put to silenceG5392 the ignoranceG56 of foolishG878 menG444: 16AsG5613 freeG1658, andG2532 notG3361 usingG2192 your libertyG3588G1657 forG5613 a clokeG1942 of maliciousnessG3588G2549, butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of GodG2316. 17HonourG5091 allG3956 men. LoveG25 the brotherhoodG3588G81. FearG5399 GodG3588G2316. HonourG5091 the kingG3588G935. 18

ServantsG3588G3610, be subjectG5293 toG3588G1203 your mastersG3588G1203 withG1722 allG3956 fearG5401; notG3756 onlyG3440 to the goodG18 andG2532 gentleG1933, butG235 alsoG2532 to the wickedG4646. 19ForG1063 thisG3778 is thankworthyG5485, ifG1487 a manG5100 forG1223 conscienceG4893 toward GodG2316 endureG5297 griefG3077, sufferingG3958 wrongfullyG95. 20ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG3778 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316.
