1 Peter 2:13

World English Bible (WEB)

Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,

In context

11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,

14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.

15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
