1 Peter 2:13-17

13Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

14or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.

15For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16as free, and not using your freedom for a cloke of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

17Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
