“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.”
“or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well. ”
“or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.”
“or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good.”
“Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good.”
“And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.”

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.
Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
