13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme ruler, 14 or to governors, as those sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of those who do well. 15 For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; 16 as being free, and yet not using your freedom as a cloak for malice, but as servants of God. 17 Honor all men; love the brotherhood; reverence God; honor the king. 1 Peter 2:13-17, Anderson New Testament.
