Submission to Authority
13 bBe subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, ▼▼Or every institution ordained for people
whether it be to the emperor ▼▼Or king; also verse 17
as supreme, 14or to governors as sent by him eto punish those who do evil and fto praise those who do good. 15For this is the will of God, gthat by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 hLive as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but iliving as servants ▼▼Greek bondservants
of God. 17 kHonor everyone. lLove the brotherhood. mFear God. Honor the emperor.
