1 Peter 2:15 in context

  1. 13Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
  2. 14or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.
  3. 15For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
  4. 16as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
  5. 17Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
