Lamsa(i)
13 Submit yourselves to all human authority for GodÆs sake: whether it be to kings, because of their power,
14 Or to judges because from them officers are sent for the punishment of offenders, and to bestow honour on those who do good.
15 For such is the will of God, that by your good works you may silence the mouth of foolish men, who know not God.
16 Act as free men, and not as men who use their liberty as a cloak for their maliciousness; but as the servants of God.
17 Honour all men. Love your brethren. Fear God. Honour the king.
