12 Have your behavior comely, among the Gentiles, that, whereas, they speak against you, as evil doers, having beheld your good works, they may glorify God, in the day of visitation.
13 Be subject, therefore, to every human establishment for the Lord's sake; whether to the king, as supreme;
14 or to governor, as those sent by him for the punishment, indeed, of evil doers; but for the praise of them who do good.
