12 Keep your daily life among the Gentiles honorable, so that, although they talk against you as if you were wrongdoers, they may, from your noble deeds that they see, glorify God on the day of inspection.

13 Be submissive to every human institution for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,

14 or to governors as those sent by him for the punishment of wrongdoers and the praise of those who do good.
