Respect for Authority and Good Conduct

1

¶ Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

2

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

4

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

5

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

6

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
