13 Submit to every human creature for the sake of the Lord: whether to the king as supereminent, 14 or to governors, as those having been sent out by him unto the condemnation of evil doers, and the praise of those doing good; 15 because thus it is the will of God, that doing good you should put to shame the ignorance of the ignorant people: 16 as free, and not as having the freedom as a cover of evil, but as servants of God. 17 Honor all people; love the brotherhood with divine love; fear God; honor the king. 1 Peter 2:13-17, Godbey New Testament.
