1 Peter 2:13-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

13 For the Lord’s sake be subject to every human authority,[a] whether to the emperor as supreme(A) 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. 15 For it is God’s will that by doing right you should silence the ignorance of the foolish. 16 As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.(B) 17 Honor everyone. Love the family of believers.[b] Fear God. Honor the emperor.(C)
