1 Peter 2:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Show respect for all people. Love the brothers and sisters of God’s family. Respect God. Honor the king.

Follow Christ’s Example

¹⁸ Slaves, accept the authority of your masters. Do this with all respect. You should obey masters who are good and kind, and you should obey masters who are bad. ¹⁹ A person might have to suffer even when he has done nothing wrong. But if he thinks of God and bears the pain, this pleases God.
