1 Peter 2:12-17

Keep your behavior among the Gentiles to what is good, so that, when they slander you as if you were evildoers, they may, by the good works that are seen in you, glorify God on the day of visitation. Therefore, be subject to every human creature because of God, whether it is to the king as preeminent, or to leaders as having been sent from him for vindication over evildoers, it is truly for the praise of what is good. For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may bring about the silence of imprudent and ignorant men, in an open manner, and not as if cloaking malice with liberty, but like servants of God. Honor everyone. Love brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
