[11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; [12] Having conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against as evildoers, by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. [13] Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; [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. [15] For so the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: [16] As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. [17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. [18] Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. [19] For is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. [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, is acceptable with God. [21] For even were ye called: because Christ also suffered for leaving an example, that ye should follow his steps: [22] Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: [23] Who, when he was reviled, not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: [24] Who his own self bare sins in his own body on the tree, that being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. [25] For as sheep going astray; but now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop souls.
