13Submit yourselves to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as one in authority,

14or to governors, as those sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do good.

15For this is the will of God: that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish people.

16as free people, and not using freedom as a cover for evil, but as servants of God.

17Honor everyone, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
