NASB
"For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men."
— 1 Peter 2:15, NASB
“For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
“For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: ”
“For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
“For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.”
“For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
“Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:”
“For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
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.
Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.
