1 Peter 2:16-18

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁶ Live as free people (though don’t use your freedom as a veil to hide evil!), but as slaves of God. ¹⁷ Do honor to all people; love the family; reverence God; honor the emperor.

Suffering as the Messiah did

¹⁸ Let slaves obey their masters with all respect, not only the good and kind ones but also the unkind ones.
