1 Peter 2:16

A Call To Good Works

¹⁵ For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; ¹⁶ as being free, and yet not using your freedom as a cloak for malice, but as servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men; love the brotherhood; reverence God; honor the king.
