1 Peter 2:12-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe
them,
glorify God on the day of visitation.
13
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,
14
or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.
King James Version
Chapter 2
12
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by
your
good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
12
Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that when they slander you as evildoers, they will observe your good works and will glorify God on the day he visits.
13
Submit to every human authority because of the Lord, whether to the emperor as the supreme authority
14
or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do what is evil and to praise those who do what is good.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
12
Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.
13
For the Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority — whether the king as head of state,
14
or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
12
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
13
Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme,
14
or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.
New International Version
Chapter 2
12
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
13
Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority,
14
or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.
