Submission to Civil Authorities

1 Peter 2:13-17

Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

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

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

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