or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
In context
12 Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,
14 or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
