1 Peter 2:17

A Call To Good Works

¹⁶ As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God; ¹⁷ Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king. ¹⁸ Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.
