1 Peter 2:17

A Call To Good Works

¹⁶ Be free, and yet do not use your freedom for a covering for evil, but as servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. ¹⁸ Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle master but also to the hard to please.
