"Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;"
— 1 Peter 2:13, King James Version
“Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; ”
“Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;”
“Submission to Authorities Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme”
“Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling,”
“Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,”
“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;”
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
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.
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
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.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
