1 Peter 2:12-14

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² and have your honest conversation among the Gentiles, so that, in that which they murmur about you as of evildoers, having witnessed your good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹³ ¶ Therefore, be subject to every human ordinance that is of the Lord, whether it be to a king or to a superior,

¹⁴ and unto governors as unto those that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those that do well.
