1 Peter 2:13-17 (NET) Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme
or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good.
For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.
Honor all people, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the king.
