1 Peter 2:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ For it is the will of God that by doing right you should silence the ignorant talk of fools.

¹⁶ As servants of God, behave as free people, but do not use your freedom as a means to cover up wrongdoing. ¹⁷ Give due honor to everyone. Love your fellow believers. Fear God. Honor the emperor.
