1 Peter 2:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Also obey the officers that serve the king. He has sent them to punish people who do bad things. And they praise people who do good things. ¹⁵ God wants you to do only what is good. Then silly people will not be able to say bad things against you. Those people do not really know what is true.

¹⁶ You are free people. But you are servants of God. So do not think, ‘Because I am free, I can do any bad thing that I want to do.’
