1 Peter 2:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² And have your behavior be honorable among the Gentiles, so that those who speak against you as evil doers may, by your good works which they shall see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹³ Therefore, submit yourselves to every institution of man, for the Lord’s sake; whether it is to the king (as superior),

¹⁴ or to governors (those sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do well).
