Honor Authority
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent [a]by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 15 For [b]such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Act as free people, and [c]do not use your freedom as a [d]covering for evil, but use it as bond-servants of God. 17 Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the [e]king.
