In context
12 Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
14 Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15 For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17 Honor all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
