12 and have your honest conversation among the Gentiles, so that, in that which they murmur about you as of evildoers, having witnessed [your] good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Therefore, be subject to every human ordinance [that is] of the Lord, whether it be to a king or to a superior,
14 and unto governors as unto those that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those that do well.
