1 Pedro 2

12 Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the supreme authority,

14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
