13 Submit youre selves vnto all manner ordinaunce of man for the lordes sake whether it be vnto the kynge as vnto the chefe heed: 14 other vnto rulars as vnto them that are sent of him for the punysshment of evyll doars: but for the laude of them that do well. 15 For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men: 16 as fre and not as havinge ye libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes but even as the servautes of god. 17 Honoure all men. Love brotherly felishippe. Feare god and honour the kynge. 18 Servauntes obey youre masters with all feare not only yf they be good and courteous: but also though they be frowarde. 19 For it is thankeworthye yf a man for conscience towarde god endure grefe sufferinge wrongfully. 20 For what prayse is it if when ye be buffeted for youre fautes ye take it paciently? But and yf when ye do well ye suffer wronge and take it paciently then is there thanke with God. 21 For herevnto verely were ye called: for Christ also suffered for vs levinge vs an insample yt ye shuld folowe his steppes 22 which dyd no sinne nether was ther gyle founde in his mouth: 23 which when he was reviled reviled not agayne: whe he suffered he threatened not: but comitted the cause to him that iudgeth ryghteously 24 which his awne silfe bare oure synnes in his body on the tree that we shuld be delyvered from synne and shuld lyve in rightewesnes. By whose strypes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as shepe goinge astraye: but are now returned vnto ye shepheerd and bisshoppe of youre soules. 1 Peter 2:13-25, Tyndale Bible of 1526. Public domain.
