1 Peter 2:13-17 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling, ¹⁴ Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. ¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: ¹⁶ As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
