<br>1 Peter2:11 - 17<br><br>
 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;<br>
2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.<br>
2:13 &para; Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;<br>
2:14 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.<br>
2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:<br>
2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.<br>
2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.<br>
