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.
15 For so is the will of God-The Father, that with well doing you2f may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God-The Father.
17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God-The Father. Honour the king.
