13 Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 or unto governors, as sent 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 using your freedom for a cloke of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 1 Peter 2:13-17, English Revised Version. Public domain.
