12 having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of [His] visitation, seeing [your] good works.13 Then be in obedience to every ordinance of men, because of the Lord, whether to a king as supreme,14 or to governors as sent by Him for vengeance [on] evildoers, but for praise [on] well-doers.
