1 Peter 2:15 in context

  1. 13Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
  2. 14or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
  3. 15For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you 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.
