1 Peter 2

¹⁶ Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

¹⁷ Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

¹⁸ Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.

¹⁹ For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

²⁰ How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
