60:002:008 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
60:002:009 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
60:002:010 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
60:002:011 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
60:002:012 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.
60:002:013 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
60:002:014 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.
60:002:015 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
60:002:016 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
60:002:017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
