1 Peter 2:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ It is God’s will that your good lives should silence those who foolishly condemn the Gospel without knowing what it can do for them, having never experienced its power. ¹⁶ You are free from the law, but that doesn’t mean you are free to do wrong. Live as those who are free to do only God’s will at all times.

¹⁷ Show respect for everyone. Love Christians everywhere. Fear God and honor the government.
