“For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:”
“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:”
and maintain good conduct among the non-Christians, so that though they now malign you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God when he appears.
Submission to Authorities Be subject to every human institution for the Lord’s sake, whether to a king as supreme
or to governors as those he commissions to punish wrongdoers and praise those who do good.
For God wants you to silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.
Honor all people, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the king.
Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are perverse.
