1 Peter 2:11-13

International Children’s Bible

Live for God

¹¹ Dear friends, you are like visitors and strangers in this world. So I beg you to stay away from the evil things your bodies want to do. These things fight against your soul. ¹² People who do not believe are living all around you. They might say that you are doing wrong. So live good lives. Then they will see the good things you do, and they will give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again.

Obey Every Human Authority

¹³ Obey the people who have authority in this world. Do this for the Lord. Obey the king, who is the highest authority.
