1 Peter 2:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:

¹⁵ For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁶ As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
