the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme; 002:014 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those who do well. 002:015 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 002:016 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. 002:017 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. 002:018 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. 002:019 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. 002:020 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. 002:021 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you{TR reads "us" instead of "you"} an example, that you should follow his steps, 002:022 who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth."{Isaiah 53:9} 002:023 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously; 002:024 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. 002:025 For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer{"Overseer" is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent.} of your souls. 003:001 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word; 003:002 seeing your pure behavior in fear. 003:003 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; 003:004 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious. 003:005 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 003:006 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror. 003:007 You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered. 003:008 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, 003:009 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling;
