1 Peter 2:13-17
American Standard Version
13 Be subject to every [a]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; 14 or unto governors, as sent [b]by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well. 15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16 as free, and not [c]using your freedom for a cloak of [d]wickedness, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
