1 Peter 2:15-17

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁵ That is what God wants you to do. He wants you to do good things. By doing good things, you will stop foolish people from saying wrong things about you. They say wrong things about you because they do not know you.

¹⁶ You are free people. But do not think, `I am free so I can do wrong things.' You are God's servants.

¹⁷ Respect all men. Love your Christian brothers. Fear God. Respect the king.
