Submission to Authority

13nBe subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution,2 whether it be to the emperor3 as supreme, 14or to governors as sent by him oto punish those who do evil and pto praise those who do good. 15For this is the will of God, qthat by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16rLive as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but sliving as servants4 of God. 17tHonor everyone. uLove the brotherhood. vFear God. Honor the emperor.

18wServants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19For this is a gracious thing, when, xmindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But yif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.
