1 Peter 2:12 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Peter 2:12

10 ^awho once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

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.
