Living Before the World

11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts awhich war against the soul,  
12 ahaving your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, bthey may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.  

Submission to Government

13 aTherefore submit yourselves to every1 ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme,  
14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—
16 aas free, yet not busing liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.  
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear aGod. Honor the king.  

Submission to Masters

18 aServants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.  
19 For this is acommendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully.  
20 For awhat credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God.  
21 For ato this you were called, because Christ also suffered for1 us, bleaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: 
22 “Who acommitted no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
