1 Peter 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Abstain from Fleshly Lusts
11 My dearest I beseech you as strangers & pilgrims, to refrain your selves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
12 having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that in that wherein they misreport of you as of malefactors, by the good works considering you, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submission to Authorities
13 Be subject therefore to every human creature for God: whether it be to king, as excelling:
14 or to rulers as sent by him to the revenge of malefactors, but to the praise of the good:
15 for so is the will of God, that doing well you may make the ignorance of unwise men to be dumb.
16 as free, and not as having the freedom for a cloak of malice, but as the servants of God.
