1 Peter 2:12-14

Living Bible

¹² Be careful how you behave among your unsaved neighbors; for then, even if they are suspicious of you and talk against you, they will end up praising God for your good works when Christ returns.

¹³ For the Lord’s sake, obey every law of your government: those of the king as head of the state, ¹⁴ and those of the king’s officers, for he has sent them to punish all who do wrong, and to honor those who do right.
