12 Live honourable lives among the Gentiles, in order that, although they now speak against you as evil-doers, they may yet witness your good conduct, and may glorify God on the day of reward and retribution.
13 Submit, for the Lord's sake, to every authority set up by man, whether it be to the Emperor as supreme ruler,
14 or to provincial Governors as sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and the encouragement of those who do what is right.
