1 Peter 2:15 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 2:15

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.
