1 Peter

1 Peter 2:17–19

¹⁷Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers,^e fear God, honor the king.

¹⁸Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect,^f not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable. ¹⁹For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.
