Pastor Buddy Wimberly "Submission to Authority" 1 Peter 2:13-17
1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake:
whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14 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.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the
ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as
1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1Pe 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good
and gentle, but also to the froward.
1Pe 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure
grief, suffering wrongfully.
1Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take
it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is
1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he
threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were
1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the
Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
