1 Peter 2:17

A Call To Good Works

¹⁶ Act as free men, yet not using your freedom as those do who make it a cloak for wickedness, but as Servants of God. ¹⁷ Show honour to every one, Love the Brotherhood, 'revere God, honour the emperor.' ¹⁸ Those of you who are domestic servants should always be submissive and respectful to their masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are arbitrary.
