NHEB(i)
13 Subject yourselves to every human institution for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
16 as free, and not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as slaves of God.
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
