13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; |
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. |
15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: |
16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. |
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. |
