1 Peter 2:12-14

New Century Version

¹² People who do not believe are living all around you and might say that you are doing wrong. Live such good lives that they will see the good things you do and will give glory to God on the day when Christ comes again.

Yield to Every Human Authority

¹³ For the Lord’s sake, yield to the people who have authority in this world: the king, who is the highest authority, ¹⁴ and the leaders who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
