1 Peter 2

12 Having your Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) honest among the Goyim [Gentiles]: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God-The Father in the day of visitation.

13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord - Kurios’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
