KJV ¹³ Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

KJV ¹⁴ Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

KJV ¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

KJV ¹⁶ As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

KJV ¹⁷ Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

KJV ¹⁸ Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

KJV ¹⁹ For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

KJV ²⁰ For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

KJV ²¹ For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

KJV ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

KJV ²³ Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

KJV ²⁴ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

KJV ²⁵ For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
