And he that believeth on [h]him shall not be put to shame. 7 [i]For you therefore that believe is the [j]preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,
The same was made the head of the corner; 8 and,
13 Be subject to every [o]ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; 14 or unto governors, as sent [p]by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well. 15 For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16 as free, and not [q]using your freedom for a cloak of [r]wickedness, but as bondservants of God. 17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 [s]Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19 For this is [t]acceptable, if for conscience [u]toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is [v]acceptable with God. 21 For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed [w]himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self [x]bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose [y]stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and [z]Bishop of your souls.
