1 Peter 2:13-15

Living_Oracles(i) 13 Be subject, therefore, to every human establishment for the Lord's sake; whether to the king, as supreme; 14 or to governor, as those sent by him for the punishment, indeed, of evil doers; but for the praise of them who do good. 15 For so is the will of God, that, by doing good, you put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
