1 Peter : Politics (2)

  1. "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 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." 2:13-14

    Obey the king, and all human laws and authorities. They exist to encourage good behavior and punish evildoers.

  2. "Honour the king." 2:17

    God wants you to have a king and commands you to honor him.
