Then his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and be sought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay you all. And he would not; but went and threw him into prison, till he should pay the debt. read more.
When his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sad, and went and made known to their lord all that was done. Then his lord called him and said to him: Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you besought me. Ought you not to have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you? And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due him. So also will my heavenly Father do to you, if, from your hearts, you forgive not every one his brother's offenses.

1 Peter 2:11-25

Beloved, I beseech you, as strangers and sojourners, that you keep yourselves from fleshly desires, which war against the soul, maintaining an honorable mode of life am one the Gentiles, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may, on account of your good works which they witness, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man, for the Lord's sake; whether it be to the king, as supreme ruler, read more.
or to governors, as those sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of those who do well. For such is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; as being free, and yet not using your freedom as a cloak for malice, but as servants of God. Honor all men; love the brotherhood; reverence God; honor the king. Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the perverse. For this is praiseworthy, if any one, on account of conscience to ward God, endure sorrows, suffering unjustly. For what praise is due, if, when you are punished for your faults, you endure it patiently? But if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you endure it patiently, this is praiseworthy in the- sight of God. To this, indeed, you have been called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his footsteps. He did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile again; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously. He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep that had gone astray; but now you have returned to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.

1 Peter 3:5-6

For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay.
