1 Peter 2:16-18

Worldwide English (New Testament)

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.

¹⁸ Servants, respect and obey your masters in all things. Obey not only those who are good to you. But also obey those who are hard on you.
