Riverside(i)
10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God: once you had not found compassion, but now you have found compassion.
11 Beloved, I beg you, as foreigners and resident aliens, to shun the passions of the flesh which war against the soul.
12 Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.
13 Be submissive to every human institution for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
14 or to governors as those sent by him for the punishment of wrongdoers and the praise of those who do good.
15 For this is the will of God — that by doing good we shall silence the ignorance of thoughtless men.
16 Live as free men, yet not using freedom as a cloak for wickedness, but as God's slaves.
17 Honor all men, love the brotherhood, reverence God, honor the king.
18 Household servants, be submissive with all reverence to your lords, not only to the good and fair, but also to the surly.
19 For this is grace if for conscience toward God any one bears pain, suffering unjustly.
