"As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. "
— 1 Peter 2:16, American King James Version
“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
“as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. ”
“as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.”
“Live as free people, not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as God’s slaves.”
“As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.”
“As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;”
“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.”
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Or to governors, as to 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 you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the fraudulent.
For this is thank worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
