Reading in version Bible American Standard - English

13

Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme

14

or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well.

15

For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16

as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.

17

Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
