To him belongs ¹  the power forever. Amen.

Slaves, ¹  be subject ²  to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.

Be subject to every human institution ¹  for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme

¹ Because Christ also suffered ²  once for sins, the just for the unjust, ³  to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but ⁴  by being made alive in the spirit. ⁵
