NASB
"Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,"
— 1 Peter 2:13, NASB
“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;”
“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;”
for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.
Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,
or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.
For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.
Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.
