1 Peter 2:11-17
2:11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul,
2:12 and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.
Submission to Authorities
2:13 Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme
2:14 or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good.
2:15 For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
2:16 Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.
2:17 Honor all people, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the king.
