1 Peter 2:13-17

Rotherham(i) 13 Submit yourselves unto every human creation, for the Lord’s sake,––whether unto a king, as one that protecteth, 14 Or unto governors, as, through him, sent––for vengeance on evil–doers, but praise to such as do good; 15 Because, so, is the will of God,––by doing good, to be putting to silence, the ignorance of heedless men: 16 As free, yet, not as a cloak of vice, holding your freedom, but, as God’s servants. 17 Unto all men, give honour, unto the brotherhood, shew love, unto God, give reverence, the king, hold in honour.
