1 Peter 2:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ Respect everyone, and love the family of believers.^[a] Fear God, and respect the king.

Slaves

¹⁸ You who are slaves must submit to your masters with all respect.^[b] Do what they tell you—not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are cruel. ¹⁹ For God is pleased when, conscious of his will, you patiently endure unjust treatment.
