1 Peter 2:14 in Context — 1 Peter 2
12 Teniendo vuestra conversación honesta entre los Gentiles; para que, en lo que ellos murmuran de vosotros como de malhechores, glorifiquen á Dios en el día de la visitación, estimándoos por las buenas obras.
13 Sed pues sujetos á toda ordenación humana por respeto á Dios: ya sea al rey, como á superior;
14 Ya á los gobernadores, como de él enviados para venganza de los malhechores, y para loor de los que hacen bien.
15 Porque esta es la voluntad de Dios; que haciendo bien, hagáis callar la ignorancia de los hombres vanos:
16 Como libres, y no como teniendo la libertad por cobertura de malicia, sino como siervos de Dios.
