1 Peter 2:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ And obey the leaders who are sent by the king. They are sent to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do good. ¹⁵ When you do good, you stop ignorant people from saying foolish things about you. This is what God wants. ¹⁶ Live like free people, but don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as those who are serving God.
